Meet Adina
At Illuminate Child Life, we believe every child deserves to feel empowered, supported, and brave—even in the face of medical experiences, grief, or big life changes. Founded by Certified Child Life Specialist Adina Levitan, MS, CCLS, Illuminate provides personalized, play-based support for children and families navigating the challenges of health care and beyond.
With over a decade of experience in hospitals, nonprofits, and family-centered care, Adina brings a compassionate and evidence-based approach to helping children build coping skills, reduce fear, and understand what’s happening around them in a way that feels safe. From preparation for blood draws to emotional support after a loss, Illuminate Child Life is here to shine a light through the tough moments—one child, one family, one brave step at a time.
