About the Founder


Mark Levine, M.D.
Dr. Levine is a board-certified psychiatrist and founder of Community Psychiatry, one of the largest private multi-site group practices in California.
For over 20 years, this practice assured access to mental health services by accepting patients’ insurance as payment in full.
He teaches and supervises a wide variety of mindfulness-based programs for medical staff, clinicians and patients. As part of this endeavor, in 2015 he established Mind to Mindful, a non-profit clinical and teaching organization that promotes mindfulness training. His course, Managing Mood with Mindfulness, offers simple effective skills for reducing suffering and enhancing happiness.
For more than thirty years, Dr. Levine has worked in both clinical and corporate settings teaching people how to reduce stress and enhance well-being.
