You might be getting things done, but it's costing you. On paper, you appear accomplished. Privately, you feel overwhelmed, grappling with perfectionsim, imposter syndrome, reactivity, or fear of losing everything. Looking for balance, your mind won't stop running. You may carry emptiness, soothe with substances, or feel disconnected from yourself and others. It's isolating when problem-solving skills can't fix a stalling marriage or shake burnout. You aren't failing - you need the right map. The human condition is too complex for a one-size-fits-all approach; I tailor therapy to your unique situation.

I help high-achieving individuals and couples navigate depression, anxiety, life transitions, substance abuse, male-specific issues, and a wide array of other concerns. For individuals, I draw from evidence-based modalities, merging insight and action. For couples, I offer a blend of the Gottman Method, emotionally focused therapy, and sex therapy.

Reaching out can feel daunting, especially if you're used to managing things on your own. I offer a grounded, non-judgmental space where the process can be serious without feeling heavy; a sense of perspective, and humore reduce pressure. My position is a privilege. If you're looking for therapy that is warm, direct, and focused, I invite you to reach out.

Anxiety, relationship conflict, burnout, substance abuse, & periods of self-doubt often overlap rather than exist on their own. Therapy focuses on understanding how these concerns developed, how they show up now, and what keeps them in place. The process emphasizes clarity, emotional steadiness, & breaking patterns that interfere with relationships, decision-making, performance, & daily life.

DBT Skills Group-Chicago In-Person

Hosted by

Wendi Lev

This DBT group is for adults who want practical tools to manage emotions, stress, and relationship reactivity more effectively. Many participants function well externally but feel overwhelmed, impulsive, or stuck in destructive patterns internally. The group focuses on core skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, with an emphasis on real-world application. It is best suited for individuals who want concrete strategies to respond more thoughtfully rather than react impulsively, so they can use them between sessions. Begins Sunday 5/31/26 and will run for 8 weeks. Contact me today to learn more.

Navigating Divorce and Breakups Post 40

Hosted by

Wendi Lev

Getting divorced or going through the end of a significant relationship is heart-wrenching and painful. After 40, that pain is often compounded by shared history, identity shifts, and practical concerns. This in-person group is for adults navigating divorce or a major breakup at this stage of life. The work is structured and focused on understanding what led to the rupture, how relational patterns continue to show up, and how to regain emotional steadiness and clarity during a difficult transition. You will gain perspective, depth, & tools to move forward with confidence. Group begins Sunday, 5/31. Contact me today to learn more.
