Daphna Levy

Have known Daphna since last year, found her practice in Yelp. I think a Yelp review in a few sentences will not be enough to describe how much she have helped me in many ways- most esp in understanding myself and situations. She has helped me understand the importance of self-worth and self-love. I consider the sessions with her as my safe place. She does not judge, instead, she gives you practical insights or advices in life. She has helped us navigate and come out with different perspective in ourselves and in our relationship. We have found out even the small things that we overlook and did not even know will make a difference. Daphna is also patient and kind. I am so much grateful for her! Also, scheduling or rescheduling was also easy. I highly recommend Daphna!

I rarely take the time to write a review unless I truly feel others should know about my personal experience - and in this case - I am sharing my story so that others can read, see, and understand why going to Daphna was the best decision both my wife and I made to help us be happily ever after ... So, without further delay, here's why I rated Daphna's coaching services for couples a well-deserved and well-earned FIVE STAR++++ rating, hands down ... and if I could give Daphna more stars or a higher rating ... I would ... anyways ... A few months back, my wife and I were having terrible issues as a couple ... we argued constantly, we rarely spoke, we rarely got intimate, and we rarely communicated on so many issues from what makes me happy to what she wants. There was always that constant feeling between us of resentment ... she worked too much, which got in the way of raising our little one ... I got mad so much ... I lashed out a lot, I would yell, I would become angry, I would drink too much alcohol, I would want to simply not look at her and she, of course, would simply not want to be around me because I was, in all respects, toxic to her, my little one and myself. We needed help - my wife knew that and I knew that, so we agreed to look for a marriage counselor, or what we later learned, a marriage coach!Anyhow, after asking around (of course, discreetly) and researching so many websites, business reviews, business ratings and information, and other types of secondary sources relating to who truly is the best marriage counselor and/or marriage/life coach in town - one name continued to come up - Daphna, Daphna, Daphna. After finding Daphna's business information, we researched the type of coaching services she provides to couples, read her company brochures and multiple personal stories from married couples she previously helped. In all, we really liked what we learned about what Daphna does, so we agreed to meet with Daphna.After initially meeting with Daphna and learning more about her style and approach to marriage coaching, both my wife and I knew that she was the right fit for us, and because of this, signed up. After signing up for marital coaching services, we then started to meet with Daphna on a weekly basis where she learned about each of us, including what was happening, what triggered us, why both of us did what we did, and so forth ...In holding these weekly meetings with Daphna, she was able to help both my wife and I really take a step back to think and learn about why we fell in love, why we felt so strongly in love for one another when I was courting my wife (obviously, like most, when we first started dating), and further, continued with teaching each of us (sometimes in individual sessions) her very unique style of coaching, while also reinforcing one principal after another in subsequent meetings. Daphna would even occasionally draw diagrams and simple sketches which helped both my wife and I see what each of us did, how we did it, did not do, or could help by doing. Overall and with a lot of patience on my end, along with good listening skills, reinforcing good habits learned, and really practicing what Daphna coaches us on, I not only eliminated drinking any type of alcohol (beer, wine, vodka, etc.) from my life (FYI -- I'm sober as of Father's Day 2022!!!), but also learned to be a better person, more respectful of my wife, a better listener, and ultimately, to see that sincere appreciation for my wife for not only who she is, but why I fell in love with her eleven years ago. Nurturing that love and building on it truly is a marriage saving tool that Daphna was able to instill in not only me, but both my wife and me. Therefore, I can truly say that as I write this review, Daphna not only saved my beautiful marriage, but also saved me from me - which in all honesty means she saved me from dying early from alcoholism and therefore instilled in me the opportunity to cherish more time on this Earth with my beautiful wife and our beautiful family.I stand by my review, and without hesitation, highly recommend Daphna for any married couple that may need some light coaching to get that spark burning again ... and this time, keeping it sparking all year around ... happily ever after.Thank you again, Daphna ... you made the difference, I sincerely mean it. Thank you.

Daphna's book came recommended to me by a friend, a rabbi in New York, who is himself happily married and counsels others. It is rare that one consultant recommends another, but he said the book was one of the best out there. After having just finished reading Picking Right, I definitely agree. While I had read various books on the subject before, Daphna's certainly stands out. In fact, for me it was quite a find, because I am obviously very gifted at "picking wrong." Being of the poetic mindset, a pretty face and an infatuation is all I need. And yet, it has gotten me into trouble across the boards in life - spiritually, financially, in health and relationships. What I liked about Picking Right are the very practical tips in every chapter, for example - the 3 rules or principles or musts of a relationship. I love the end-of-the-chapter exercises. I also like it that Daphna does not beat around the bush - she is very straightforward. And I must say, I would never have picked up the book in the first place, had I not known that she herself has a successful marriage of many years - the proof, after all, is in the pudding (of marriage). Anyway, it's quick, light, entertaining and most certainly useful and usable. I will probably re-read it soon. In fact, it's given me some confidence that there IS hope - I have almost given up before, not because I can't find someone (that's easy), but because fairy tales always turned into Grimm (and grim) fairy tales. Not sure if Daphna's name is related to the Greek nymph Daphne, but it surely fits - Daphne later became the laurel tree, the symbol of victory. I think both Daphna and her book are winners and I think they help the readers build win-win relationships VladimirTranslator, writer, entrepreneur

My experience with Daphna was life changing. Going in, I was beyond skeptic and afraid she would not be able to relate or understand me. Daphna is a professional, but also a kind spirit who will do whatever it takes to understand your situation. She came multiple times with research she did on her own time to help me in my relationship and in my career goals. My relationship was beyond bumpy, and we could barely argue without it turning into a screaming fest. Daphna helped us to work on communicating and pointed out what was wrong or right. She tells you the truth. Now, we work together better than ever, and looking for a home to move in together. She also helped my career goals and gave me homework to do every week. It consisted of narrowing down my goals and pinpointing where I was messing up or succeeding well in. Her tips and tricks are still very useful today. She became not only my life coach, but an incredible friend available to me whenever I need her. She makes herself available to call/text when needed which is very helpful when situations come up that I am unsure how to handle. Daphna will go above and beyond to help improve your situation. She will walk you towards success, towards love, and towards happiness. I am so grateful to have found her. She is the perfect fit for all.

I have been on a personal journey to "figure myself out." With Daphna's skilled coaching I moved from endless psychotherapy to practical achievable change. I have spent time working on immediate changes AND deep seated behavior/thoughts that needed attention. Daphna is brave. She is an amazing listener. She can quickly analyze your self guided experience and give valuable input on the spot. She routinely uses art (mostly drawing) to reflect my words and intentions clearly. The most important thing Daphna does is to CARE. She CARES! I have benefitted greatly from my coaching experience and I think you could too.Photo is me happy. Can you see it?
