Wendi Lev, LCSW, ACSW, CADC- Lev Counseling

Wendi Lev, LCSW, ACSW, CADC-Lev Counseling I provide direct, relationship-based psychotherapy for adults and couples navigating sustained pressure and complex relational challenges. My work is grounded in clarity, discretion, and results, rather than rigid protocols or one-size-fits-all treatment. My approach is integrative and strategic, drawing from proven methods while remaining flexible and responsive to the individual or couple in front of me. Rather than relying on manuals, I focus on identifying patterns in thinking, emotional responses, behavior, and relationships that keep people stuck. Once these patterns are clear, we work directly to change how they function in real time, with an emphasis on precision, relational intelligence, and long-term resilience. I specialize in helping individuals accustomed to responsibility, performance, and making decisions under sustained pressure. Many are outwardly successful, yet privately struggle with anxiety, emotional reactivity, overthinking, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, burnout, or isolation, and may rely on alcohol or other substances as a way of coping. Success does not protect people from these challenges; in many cases, it intensifies them. Therapy is collaborative, challenging when necessary, and goal-oriented, designed to restore clarity and a greater sense of control. In couples therapy, I concentrate on the mechanics of connection, communication, conflict, trust, and intimacy, using proven approaches such as the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy to facilitate repair and create a concrete path forward, including work on infidelity, jealousy, misaligned attachment styles, or major life transitions. As a solo practitioner, I work directly with clients in every session, ensuring continuity, consistency, and a sustained therapeutic relationship. The goal is not simply insight, but clearer thinking, steadier emotional responses, stronger connections, and the capacity to navigate life's complexities with greater competence and ease.

Verified patient
I was looking forward to starting therapy given her reviews. First attempt at an appointment was cancelled 20 mins before my appointment due to her mom breaking her hip. I rescheduled a couple weeks later and 10 mins before my appointment she told me she’s dealing with a serious illness but will be available the rest of the week. Don’t waste your time.
Verified patient
My experience wasn’t good. She was 35 minutes late, and also left twice during the session to go to the bathroom. She was unorganized, and a little fidgety. She never answered any of my questions and kept asking me why I was there and what I wanted to accomplish. She was also pretty expensive. 200 for no advice.
Outstanding! Left feeling much better
Verified patient
I went through a brief drug and alcohol addiction. After meeting with Wendi only a few times. I realized how incredibly stupid I was acting.
Verified patient
I just recently started DBT therapy with Wendi and it has been great learning new tools how to regulate strong emotions in a healthy way. I love having tangible takeaways and notes that I can refer back to and practice. Wendi has been a great resource for providing different perspectives and actions that I can take towards healing.

Wendi Lev, has been a rock for me throughout my time with her. I have read a few negative reviews and I can't imagine having anything less than a good experience with her. Wendi always gives 110 percent. And she is the most empathetic woman I've ever met.

Wendi Lev is quick to recognize my needs. I feel comfortable talking with her on any topic, and she is a skillful guide as I confront a variety of issues, particularly when addressing self esteem.
