Jillian Levy

Hello! I’m a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges and build more authentic, fulfilling lives.

I specialize in working with adult women who are struggling with body image, food, exercise, and their relationships with themselves and others. I support women experiencing binge eating disorder, disordered eating, body image concerns, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from NYU and have received training from the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am also a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, trained under Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. My experience includes working in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, including outpatient clinics, hospitals, and schools.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I feel honored to support my clients as they develop a deeper understanding of themselves and move toward lives that feel more balanced, connected, and authentic.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process. My role is to ask thoughtful questions, help you better understand yourself and your patterns, and support you in creating meaningful change. Rather than seeing myself as the expert on your life, I see myself as a partner who can help you uncover your own insight, strengths, and capacity for growth.

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. While compassion and active listening are at the heart of my work, I also believe therapy should be practical. When it feels helpful, I offer tangible tools and strategies that you can use in your everyday life to begin making the changes you want to see. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, balance, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

I like to begin every therapeutic relationship with a brief 15-minute phone call so we can get to know each other and see if we feel like a good fit. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with—someone you feel understands you and “gets” you—is an important part of the process.

Clients have described me as warm, compassionate, and insightful, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is at the heart of meaningful therapy, and that feeling a genuine sense of connection and trust can make all the difference. Our first session is an opportunity to begin getting to know one another, talk about what brings you to therapy, and start thinking together about how I can best support you.
