Aaron Dodini, MS, MA, PhD, is a therapist and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) specialist at Dodini Behavioral Health in Arlington, Virginia.
Dr. Dodini grew up in a large family and is the oldest of 10 children. His life experience and education have given him the skills and temperament needed to be a great therapist. Many of his family members have struggled with ADHD as children and adults.
While earning his Bachelor of Science in psychology at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, Dr. Dodini spent some time in his ancestral home in the Swiss Alps.
Dr. Dodini believes people inherit their strengths from past generations and his time in the mountains helped him gain more appreciation for the challenges his great-great-grandfather faced before immigrating to the United States.
After his time in the Alps, Dr. Dodini went on to earn his Master of Science in marriage and family therapy at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Two years into his marriage and family therapy program, Dr. Dodini began his six-year Doctor of Philosophy program in clinical psychology at The Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington, DC. He also has a Master of Arts in psychology from CUA.
Though he wouldn’t recommend working on two advanced degrees at the same time, this experience helps him better understand the importance of work-life balance, which he uses in his therapy.
Dr. Dodini is a certified group therapist (CGP) by the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA).
In practice for more than 20 years, Dr. Dodini finds it a great honor to help others identify and pursue their own versions of growth and balance to get the lives they want through psychotherapy.

Drawing on his ancestors’ experiences and challenges, Dr. Dodini understands that life’s mountains require strength, courage, determination, and hard work to overcome. It’s his honor to be alongside his patients while they journey to their summits.
In his free time, Dr. Dodini spends time with his wife of more than 23 years and their four children.

Brian C. Hocking, Ph.D. has been in private practice full-time as a psychologist since 1987 and has been privileged to work with adults, college students, and couples challenged by the full scope of clinical problems. At his office in Charlottesville, Virginia, Dr. Hocking specializes in using individual psychotherapy to address various problems such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders.
Dr. Hocking works with patients dealing with relationship difficulties and substance abuse. He has extensive experience assisting people suffering from PTSD due to early abuse, accidents, military duty, and other serious life situations. He also helps those learning to adapt to neurological illnesses such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.
His approach is to promote understanding of how problematic past issues and experiences are disrupting each patient’s current life, then using that knowledge to make their lives better. Depending on each patient’s individual needs, therapy can be interactive or directive, and take various therapeutic approaches.
A Michigan native, Dr. Hocking graduated from the University of Michigan, then went on to complete his doctoral work in clinical psychology at the University of North Carolina. He has been licensed as a clinical psychologist in Virginia since 1978.
Dr. Hocking has worked in a variety of training and professional settings, including psychiatric hospitals and community mental health centers, before establishing his current private practice.
A recognized expert in the field of psychotherapy, Benjamin Grysman, Ph.D., brings years of institutional training and independent research in mental health disorders to his practice at Queens Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Psychology, PLLC, in Kew Garden Hills, Flushing, New York.
Dr. Grysman attended Queens College, City University of New York in Queens. He completed his master’s and doctorate degrees at Hofstra University in Long Island, New York. After graduation, Dr. Grysman continued his training at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital and CHE Behavioral Health Services, both in New York.
Dr. Grysman is known for his expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), evidence-based psychotherapy that he uses to treat patients with depression, eating and anxiety disorders, phobias, and panic attacks. He also finds great success using CBT for morbidly obese patients receiving counseling as part of Queens Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Psychology, PLLC’s, overall wellness program.
Despite his extensive training and many years practicing as a private psychologist, Dr. Grysman takes pride in his own continuing education through ongoing research and teaching commitments. He stays on top of the latest in psychotherapy treatments through his active engagement in the community and is currently an instructor at the Touro College and University System in New York.

Rachel Katherine Levy, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist providing expert mental and behavioral health care at offices in Bronxville, New York, and on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Prior to entering private practice full-time, Dr. Levy was a Research Scientist at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center where she researched the efficacy of leading treatment approaches for eating, mood and other disorders. She completed her APA-Approved post-doctoral internship at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine with specialty training in the Anxiety and Depression Clinic. Dr. Levy was the recipient of a full scholarship and stipend for doctoral studies at the State University of New York at Buffalo, from which she received her M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Dr. Levy graduated magma cum Laude from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.
Unlike most providers, who use a single approach (the one they learned in graduate school) to treat all patients, Dr. Levy’s clinical research career allowed her to develop expertise in multiple therapeutic modalities. Her training has also made her an expert at identifying the right treatment for each patient.
In addition to her training as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Levy is a long-standing student of ancient wisdom traditions. Many of these are now earning status as scientifically-validated treatment adjuncts. Meditation and mindfulness training, for example, cause observable changes in brain function, feeling, and behavior. As an adjunct to therapy, Dr. Levy may offer you meditation training or mindfulness-based stress reduction training (MBSR).
Some therapists encourage patients to remain in treatment for years or longer. Dr. Levy never extends treatment unnecessarily. She has found that for many people, working in time-limited chunks is more effective than open-ended treatment. In addition to her practice, Dr. Levy has served as a medical expert on television programs on NBC, Fox-on-Health, and the OWN network. In her spare time, Dr. Levy enjoys spending time with her sons, miniature dachshunds and cat, playing guitar, and trail running.

Many people view therapy as a place to go to *feel* better. My first aim is to help you *live* better–which will likely enable you to feel more fulfilled. Clients describe me as compassionate, caring, and challenging. My approach combines my knowledge of psychological theories and techniques with my energetic and interactive style. Working together, we will identify the ways in which your unproductive thought, emotional, and behavioral patterns prevent you from living a life consistent with your values and from achieving your goals. Common questions I ask to help guide the work are “Is what you are doing now working for you? What makes life meaningful for you? Are you willing to tolerate discomfort in order to live more consistently with your values and achieve your goals?" These can be daunting questions and I enjoy helping clients work through them to identify what, if anything, they want to change. Then I provide the techniques, skills, learning opportunities, and support to help you make these changes.
My education and training:
I earned my undergraduate degree from Haverford College and my MA and PhD degrees in Clinical Psychology from Suffolk University. I completed my internship at Tewksbury State Hospital and my postdoctoral training at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates (Clinical) and VA Boston National Center for PTSD (Research). I have also trained at Emerson College Counseling Services, Edith Nourse Rogers VA Memorial Hospital, and the May Institute. Prior to joining Brighter Life Therapy, I worked as a Staff Psychologist at Beacon Therapy Group and the Brookline Center for Community.
Areas of Expertise:
The depth and breadth of my training enables me to treat a wide range of clientele with diverse presenting concerns. I have particular expertise working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessions and compulsions, procrastination, relationship and communication difficulties, identity development/self-esteem, and identification of personal values. I have also published on these topics.
Insurance and payment:
I am an in-network provider for BCBS, Aetna, and Aetna Student Health. I also accept private pay and am happy to provide statements for reimbursement for clients with other insurance plans.
“TC is very good at both supporting and challenging me. I appreciate his skills and ability to address my concerns, listen empathically, and challenge to try different ways to address my concerns. He is very effective.”
