Wendi Lev, LCSW, ACSW, CADC — Lev Counseling provides a discreet clinical partnership for high-achieving individuals and couples. With 30 years of experience rooted in Chicago's premier psychiatric institutions, Wendi offers an authentic, "no-BS" space to navigate the intricate internal costs of a high-pressure life.
Her approach is fundamentally psychodynamic, identifying root causes to create lasting change. She integrates this depth with practical, evidence-based tools from ACT, CBT, and DBT to address the hidden toll of drive and perfectionism—including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. For couples, she utilizes the Gottman Method, EFT, and Esther Perel's *Erotic Intelligence* to navigate intimacy, desire, and relationship fractures. As a Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Counselor (CADC), Wendi also provides expert guidance in addiction recovery.
To ensure maximum efficacy, Wendi utilizes Feedback-Informed Treatment (FIT) to track progress in real time, ensuring the work remains transparent and results-oriented. Based in the Chicago Loop and licensed for telehealth in Florida, she offers therapy intensives for those seeking a sophisticated, accelerated clinical reset.
