Jay Levin
Career Coach, Relationship Coach, Life Coach
Individuals grappling with careers, money & business. Struggling couples who want fast results. People who seek life skills to deal with emotions, an unhappy inner life & outer difficulty with others.
About Me
I am a Life Skills Specialist with a successful business background. My specialty is fast results, within a few weeks. Whether your issue is career and money related, relationships, emotional discomfort or your lack of people skills, it gets better or I refund your money.
I’ve worked with hundreds of clients from all walks of life in the last 12 years - with CEOs and struggling young people, people who've had lots of therapy and others who've had none– and I’ve seen real progress in virtually everyone and every partnership.
Major reasons for my success: (1) I bring unique vision grounded in real life smarts and experience. (2) I provide a greatly useful framework for understanding your issues, whatever they may be, and (3) I teach you truly effective skills to deal with them, many of which I created. (4) I also get fast results (see testimonials) because I coach you in how to solve your problems - in effect I teach you to be your own coach.
My success in quickly helping without you spending years in therapy or coaching draws partially on my background as an entrepreneur, CEO and journalist (I founded the LA Weekly newspaper) in which, in order to write about them, I participated in innumerable human development trainings. I later continued my education for its own sake, attending scores of other workshops and participated in a Master's degree psychology program.
Along with personal coaching, I also conduct for groups highly successful Life Skills trainings, Relationship trainings and Career/Entrepreneurship trainings. Most successful and fulfilled people know that these three areas overlap.
My goal is to show you the way past both your inner obstacles like trauma and those that come up because you need more skills to deal with the circumstances facing you from the outer world.
You can get real direction, gain confidence, improve communications, develop healthy relationships in every facet of your life inexpensively - and faster than you suspect.

Jodi Lieb
Jay Levin's personal coaching and has given me the tools I need to make a major transformation in my life. Like many others I'm sure, I have been on a path of self actualization for a long time now. That said, Jay has taken in the broad spectrum of alternative approaches over the years and distilled it. Building off a holistic approach and philosophy, he drills down into each of the techniques he has found most effective. Applying the techniques learned from Jay feels like playing connect the dots back to my true self.

"Masterful"
“Jay's work as a couples coach is masterful. I highly recommend him to any couple (and any individual) who wants to look deeper into their dynamics.”
Susan Suntree
"Immediate Help" "Jay Levin has the ability to understand human behaviors and patterns. His approach to how to self-empower ourselves in our careers and relationships immediately helps you focus and understand from where your unhealthy behaviors are coming and how to approach them. We are here to enjoy ourselves and Jay is magnificent in helping us achieve it!"
Kesia Elwin
"Jay has the amazing ability to help you heal yourself, or at least he did that for me. I could not have made it through 2010 without him. He is kind, wise, has real tools to share, and is the first professional whom I have ever really felt I could speak to with candor."
Kara Wily
"This was such a great and informative coaching that I thought......why the heck didn’t I learn this in high school? I’ve been approaching the entire thing completely wrong! I could have avoided a ton of headaches!
Daisy McCracken
“I cannot recommend Jay Levin's coaching highly enough. He is, without a doubt, the single most valuable ally I have on the path of self inquiry and inner excavation, specifically when it comes to unearthing deeply rooted shadows, limiting beliefs, negative behavior patterns, etc. He is a mentor, a teacher, a model and a guide. I count Jay's seemingly infinite arsenal of tools and techniques, combined with his unparalleled patience, his kindness, compassion and generosity of spirit, attention, energy and time, and overall gentle, loving, supportive nature as a great, bright blessing in my life."
Dani Katz
"I have been open to many types of therapy over the past 15 years both conventional and unconventional. I have met many healers. Jay Levin has been the most unique and the most effective. In my experience, he possessed a clear, other-worldly insight into the unconscious mechanisms that, on auto-pilot, were preventing me from growth and healing. I highly recommend his creative approach to wellness."
Ronda Call
"From experiencing Jay's work I’m learning more about women - and actually I’m seeing more of myself as well as I learn more about women: I have more clarity in the aspect of patterns I have. I’m very fortunate in that I have been working on those already but Jay has outlined other aspects that I hadn’t quite focused on as clearly as this makes you do – and it makes me very excited. Because I’m currently in a relationship that’s intimate but I also consider my friends as family and that’s an intimate relationship for me right there. So this is all important, and I will carry this for the rest of my days.”
Russell Alexander-Orosc
I’ve never done anything like this before - no therapy or group classes, nothing like this. So it seemed like I was being bombarded with all these subconscious things I was aware of but never actually expressed with other people. I feel that everyone really is aware of these things but to talk about it really brings it out. And I learned a lot more about myself."
John Hanson
Jay illuminated men as something more than the other from another planet but as vulnerable humans burdened by pressures, demands, and expectations that engendered specific behaviors. As a result, compassion replaced fear and defensiveness, understanding replaced suspicion and game-playing was replaced with real communication, the result being a positive impact on my relationship with all the men in my life.
Abby Stone
“Before I started with Jay I was stressed out. I was deeply unhappy. I had trouble with work. Now I’m in a new relationship, I’m enjoying my work, and my family life is good. Before I tookI thought nothing was coming to me. Now, people seem to seek me out."
Krystoff Przykucki
“Without Jay's coaching I don't think I'd be dealing with the different problems the way I have been. For the first time in my life, I have a very clear sense of what I'm looking for in an intimate relationship. For the first time, I know what it will look like, and I know what it will take. I've had a lot of challenges knowing how to communicate with my partner. I now have words to describe what I'm feeling and I know where I'm going with the dialogue. I feel relieved and satisfied. I've been alive for, it seems, a long time to get to this point ... and once the coaching kicked in for me, it's taken no time at all to get it."

"Jay is fantastic! I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a breakthrough in their own life. I learned tons of valuable information from Jay and received tools and insights I previously did not have. Jay's down to earth technique, humor and charm made this training something I looked forward to!"
Laura Vorreyer
"Jay's is a wealth of information for healing and success. The opportunity to work with him is a blessing, one of the great openings in my life. Take it."
Adam Wolf
“Jay’s teachings and philosophies on life have had a strong impact on my life. He understands the immense complications of the human psyche and human history. He very simply allowed me to understand my own personal history and psychological obstacles. My relationship with myself and the people in my life has gained a clarity and simplicity that I find very valuable. I am extremely grateful to Jay”
Rene Rivera
“Amazing"
“The relationship coaching and class changed our paradigms and our relationship. Jay is incredibly astute. He does an amazing job. We cannot recommend hm highly enough.”
Sherry and Gary Burdoff
"The Art of Relationship" "Jay's taught me and my partner not only a framework for understanding the art of relationship, both with one's self and others, but also tools of communication to begin gently transforming less effective attitudes and interactions into true healing and real connection."
Stephen Marr
"Sheer Excellence" “Jay brings the same level of sheer excellence, intelligence, vision and innovation to his coaching and training that he did to the LA Weekly after he created it. Plus it's SO MUCH FUN! Highly recommend!
Jamie Beardsley
Man and woman are struggling to co-exist harmoniously within a context of an unhealthy matrix that causes each to suffer primary wounds and generate self-protective stances in order to 'survive' and protect their traumatized selves. Jay Levin breaks down the effects of the unhealthy matrix on the psyche of both man and woman and in doing so gifts us with the tools, understanding and compassion to help ourselves and each other recover our authentic selves and step out of the matrix.
Lisa Ferguson
"Most of my relationships had traumatized men in them - as well as me being a traumatized woman. Not being in a relationship now for four years, has helped come to the point where with Jay's training I really understood what mistakes I had kept repeating – my patterns of picking the same type of traumatized man on different levels, between different age groups and different nationalities. Didn’t matter. It was the same trauma. They were very wounded by their fathers mostly, not their mothers, their fathers. So I’m hopeful that anyone who works with Jay who really wants to get to know themselves and how they relate to men, that these women get to see the signs of not communicating.
Babette Ory
I found that Jay's training in a very necessary way gave me basic information I was lacking that seems IMPERATIVE to relating to the opposite sex. I would even say it is information that can be applied to any stage of a relationship and that having the information and using it could revitalize an existing relationship. Conversely, if you are not in one, one could apply it in a playful way by just looking at your interactions with male friends, acquaintances or brief encounters through the lens that Jay provides! I feel this to be important, as it gives us the confidence to practice with our brothers in a much more compassionate and understanding way!
Michelle Durand
“I found Jay's coaching and training to be extremely valuable. It allowed me a deeper reflection of my past and how I created life and partnerships – and allowed me to see things differently so that I may move forward with different choices. In the past I’ve left just about every relationship that I was in. After going through this training I feel confident that I have more tools and skills and understanding on approaching a relationship…I think after this I understand this is doable, we can move forward and we can create it. I would recommend Jay to every woman who has been in and out of relationships, to get a better handle on what we are doing."
Kineret Sherman
"Jay Levin's relationship coaching and courses and What Women Need to Know About Men provide the essential wisdom we need to assess our history of relationships and partners with a critical eye and open heart so we can successfully create empowered relationships. We learn how to "be" with another human being, authentically open and vulnerable while fulfilling our needs and deepest desires for conscious loving. We discover how to connect without hiding or posturing about who we truly are and feel truly expressed. Jay teaches the means to build a healthy and solid foundation for our "ultimate" relationship - one that will grow us into our fullest potential with another human being.
Carry Kim
Love Jay, he is an amazing and effective coach!!!
Xochitl Guzman
Jay came along at just the right time. I was going through a lot of change and feeling overwhelmed by life on a daily basis. With each session my anxiety and harsh self- judgements began to melt away, and in their place emerged a more authentic, confident and compassionate human being.Thank you, Jay, for doing what you do."
Zoe Nissman
“Thanks to my yoga teacher for introducing me to Jay. Jay’s innovative, daring, and unique program lived up to its promise to provide a deep level of self understanding” while offering a vast set of tools to help us identify, understand, and ultimately change deeply rooted behavioral patterns that often prevent us from living our lives to the fullest, in harmony with ourselves and the world around us. In learning about why we human beings do the things we do, think of ourselves, and interact with others, Jay’ helps us get on the driver’s seat and take charge of our lives and our health".
Virginia Jiminez
“Jay’s teaching has been life transforming and allowed me to achieve a greater sense of peace and awareness in my life. Jay was able to clearly break down the human matrix in a way that enabled me to release misconceptions and false realities/beliefs about myself while giving me the tools to discover my personal power.”
Kristie Smiley
"Jay's teachings have freed me from the monsters in my closet which have prevented me from moving forward in my life experience of growth. It has taught me to speak up and realize that other peoples views are exactly such. And I don't have to waste my precious life energy dealing with them - especially when they refuse to acknowledge my views. These classes have given me strength in communicating in regular life as well as to better assist my students. In short, Jay gave us a diamond of thoughts."
