Dr. Liya Levanda is a licensed clinical psychologist, speaker, and social justice advocate with a modern perspective on Jewish issues, particularly antisemitism, as they pertain to clinical psychology. With over a decade of experience advocating for Jewish issues, Dr. Levanda is committed to a future of psychology that combats all forms of discrimination and hatred, including antisemitism. Her insights are shaped by both her professional expertise and her lived experience as a Jewish Israeli-American.
Dr. Levanda’s work spans local, national, and international platforms, where she leads presentations and workshops that empower individual clinicians and large organizations alike. She equips audiences with knowledge, background, and practical strategies needed for fostering inclusive, culturally sensitive care. Grounded in the belief that there’s no such thing as a dumb question, Dr. Levanda advocates for open, compassionate dialogue and education as essential steps in cultivating one’s social justice advocacy to truly be inclusive of all.
