Ms. Levin is an active investment banker with over 20 years of private equity, leveraged buyouts, mergers & acquisitions and corporate finance experience exclusively focused on the global healthcare industry. During her Wall Street tenor, she ascended to a coveted position of a Managing Director in one of the largest banks in the world - quite an accomplishment for this Russian-Ukranian girl who came to the U.S. 25 years ago in search of a better life. Having fulfilled many of her professional & financial goals, she embarked on a path of seeking ways to give back to her community.
Her social advocacy for pro se litigants in custody & the financial dispute matrimonial cases in the U.S. Supreme Court of New York, her involvement in raising seed capital for various pharmaceutical and lifescience start-ups combined with her prior achievements has earned her a Who’s Who in America Honored Listee title in 2024 for her professional, academic & philanthropic contributions to American society. Despite the good that she has provided to others through these legal and financial ventures, she felt called to make a deeper, more personal impact on others’ lives.
That’s how “The Wall Street Shrink” was born.
The platform seeks to meet the unique psychological wellness, personal effectiveness, and life fulfillment needs of people in or aspiring to be in highly demanding careers, which are not addressed by traditional mental health clinicians or career coaches. Given that ultra successful people think, live, & work differently as well as face unparalleled pressures & tremendous life complexities, these high-achieving individuals require a highly customized & carefully crafted therapeutic approach created by a practitioner who has had similar life experiences & an intimate understanding of their unique expectations.
Ms. Levin’s exceptional combination of diversified background, distinct academic & high-achievement professional track record, as well as multiple personal life transformations makes this exclusive & highly differentiated service offering possible.
In addition to her pending Masters of Arts in Mental Counseling degree from the prestigious Northwestern University, completion of the Executive Leadership Program at Columbia University’s Business School for Executive Education & receipt of degrees in accounting, finance, art history & music, throughout her life Ms. Levin has also accumulated a wide array of one-of-a-kind experiences, while brilliantly succeeding in her own life’s transitions by developing specific tools and formulas that led to her success.
Life transitions included her being a first generation immigrant, facing cultural & academic challenges given her lack of proficiency in English language when she arrived in the U.S. & having moved from a career as a concert pianist to first becoming a Certified Public Accountant & then a successful investment banker. She has seamlessly elevated all facets of her life – personal, professional & spiritual, while finding a new equilibrium through triumphantly overcoming obstacles, raising self-awareness & engaging in mind reframing, & focusing on continued education & growth.
Ms. Levin is excited to guide her clients to achieve more balanced & fulfilling lives as she shares the tools and approaches that worked in her own journey.
In her free time, Ms. Levin enjoys spending time with her two children, frequenting the green market, pickling vegetables & cooking with them on the weekends. She loves to travel & enjoys reading. She is an admirer of modern art & the works of Basquat, Damien Hurst, Rothko, Gustav Klimt & Andy Warhol.
She studies Eastern religions, enjoys meditations and daily walks in Central Park, often responding to her friends’ interior design inquiries, while on the trail. A native speaker of Russian & fluent in Spanish, most recently she returned to her love of the French language, which she is now re-learning.
She resides in New York City, NY and is a frequenter of Palm Beach, FL and Nantucket, MA.
