    Bio
     
    Dr. Robert Leve received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Maryland and completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School, which included specialized training at Children’s Hospital, Boston, and at the Judge Baker Child Guidance Clinic.
     
    He has published two books in the field of child and adolescent psychology: “Childhood: The Study of Development,” published by Random House, and “Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy: Process and Integration” published by Allyn-Bacon, the psychology division of Simon & Schuster. Dr. Leve has written extensively for professional journals and has presented papers at many clinical conferences. He is certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology and has served as an examiner on its certification board. In addition, he is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
     
    As a psychological consultant to Westminster School for 31 years, and in his private practice, Dr. Leve specializes in treating the emotional, social and academic problems of high school students. He utilizes an individualized psychotherapeutic approach for each student in accordance with his professional belief that no one theoretical treatment fits every student. Each student has a unique personality with differing emotional and cognitive problems, thus each requires an integrated treatment approach appropriate to that student.
     
    Dr. Leve also has a specialization in sport and exercise psychology and has worked with Olympic athletes as well as high school and university athletes. He has been an invited lecturer at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid. As an athlete himself, Dr. Leve was the U.S. Senior National Cycling Champion and has represented the United States as both a coach and competitor at World Championship and on national teams in South America and Europe.
     
    Dr. Leve continues to be involved in the academic training of graduate-level psychology students at the University of Hartford, where he teaches graduate courses in child psychotherapy, personality assessment, behavior therapy and clinical research methods. In the past, Dr. Leve has directed the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program at the university. He is currently working on a new book, "The Complex Structure of Human Thought."
