Why Eliana Lev chose to be in the helping profession

I believe therapy is a deeply personal and transformative journey—one that allows us to step into our most authentic selves and cultivate lives that feel meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with who we truly are. People often seek therapy with me because they long for a deeper sense of connection, whether with themselves, others, or the world around them. Sometimes, this means finding support for symptoms of anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm. Other times, it’s about uncovering long-held patterns that may be keeping them stuck in cycles of self-doubt, dissatisfaction, or unfulfilling relationships.

Therapy provides a space to gently explore the unconscious thoughts and emotions that shape our behaviors, helping us gain clarity on why we relate to ourselves and others the way we do. Together, we not only work to ease immediate distress but also dive into the root causes of suffering—addressing the deeper wounds, beliefs, and experiences that influence how we move through life.

Through this process, I help clients develop the tools to self-soothe, build resilience, and create new ways of coping—ones that feel both sustainable and empowering. Just as importantly, our work together will expand your capacity for joy, pleasure, and genuine connection, allowing you to step into a life that feels more easeful, enriching, and true to you.

Eliana Lev's approach

Therapy provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore the full spectrum of who you are—your life experiences, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—while also working to relieve distressing symptoms that may be weighing you down. People seek therapy for many reasons: to navigate relationship challenges, build emotional resilience, develop self-acceptance, or break free from unhelpful patterns and habits.

You may find yourself overanalyzing social interactions, second-guessing decisions, struggling to assert your needs, or holding yourself to impossibly high standards. When these patterns begin to take a toll on your well-being, it’s often a sign that your usual ways of coping are no longer serving you—and that it’s time to create new ones.

At the heart of meaningful therapy is a safe and trusting relationship, one that allows you to bring forth even the most vulnerable parts of yourself without fear of judgment. This process isn’t always easy—it requires courage, openness, and a willingness to sit with discomfort—but it is through this work that true growth and transformation happen.

Whatever brings you to therapy, we will work together to help you meet your goals, gain deeper self-awareness, and create lasting, meaningful change in your life.

What you can expect from sessions with Eliana Lev

Every therapeutic relationship is unique, and together, we will shape a process that feels right for you. My approach to therapy is more exploratory than structured, encouraging curiosity while gently challenging you to consider new perspectives. Rather than following a rigid framework, our sessions will unfold organically, allowing space for deep reflection, meaningful insight, and unexpected moments of clarity.

I am actively engaged in our work together, offering my insights and reflections while creating a space where you feel both supported and encouraged to grow. Therapy with me can be intense at times, but it is also playful, infused with warmth, and even a touch of humor. I believe that moments of laughter and levity are just as important as the deeper emotional work—they remind us of our resilience and capacity for joy.

The therapeutic experience is something we co-create. Together, we will discover what feels most helpful for you, tailoring our time to support your unique needs and personal growth.

Eliana Lev's experience working with the Jewish community

I have extensive experience working with individuals from the Orthodox community and deeply understand how religious life is woven into one’s sense of self, relationships, and worldview. I approach these conversations with care, respect, and an awareness that no two experiences within Orthodoxy are the same.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to navigating faith, identity, and personal growth. I believe it is essential to honor and affirm each person’s religious observance while also acknowledging the nuances of their individual beliefs, values, and lived experiences. Whether you are exploring questions of faith, facing communal or familial pressures, or seeking support within the framework of your religious identity, therapy can provide a space where you feel both understood and empowered.

This is a deeply complex and personal journey, and my role is to help you navigate challenges in a way that respects both your religious commitments and your individuality. Together, we will work toward greater clarity, self-acceptance, and emotional well-being, all within the context of your unique life and values.
