About Devorah Levinson

Devorah Levinson is a Referral Specialist and the Director of Eating Disorders Division at Relief Resources; a mental health referral service that caters to the needs of the Orthodox Jewish community. Devorah has a strong background in communal work in both the United States and abroad. Her role at Relief is to provide mental health referrals and information to families and patients and she serves as a conduit to appropriate and effective care. Her work consists of researching new clinicians, facilities, and treatment options as well as promoting cultural sensitivity to clinicians who have little or no experience with Orthodox Jewish patients. She has presented on the topics of mental health and eating disorders in the Jewish community at schools and hospitals; most notably, at the Academy for Eating Disorders’ International Conference in Washington, DC. Devorah also has a strong focus on eating disorder prevention and in that vein was part of a team that adapted The Body Project for the Orthodox Jewish Community.
