Meet Levi Benjamin Funk, MEd, LPCC
He/Him/His
Levi is a licensed professional clinical counselor based in the hills of Athens, Ohio. He holds a Bachelor’s in Management and a Master’s in Counselor Education, and he’s currently finishing his dissertation for a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at Ohio University. He also has advanced training in first episode psychosis work, veteran care, mindfulness, and wellness counseling.
Levi connects most with people who are all in on their healing journey and with folks who aren’t quite convinced therapy can help yet. His wheelhouse includes children and teens who are struggling, along with people of any age experiencing attention deficits, anxiety, psychosis, trauma, substance use concerns, or personality disorders.
His counseling style is grounded in Socrates’ belief that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” In practice, this looks like a mix of evidence based approaches like existentialism, positive psychology, solution focused therapy, Gestalt, and DBT. Humor, creativity, and a client led focus shape every session.
Outside the therapy room, Levi brings the same flexibility and empathy he learned as a professional jazz trumpeter. When he’s not counseling, he’s usually practicing music or mindfulness, playing Pokemon with his son Freddie, writing, or building his meditation app. You can even request a session with his dog Merida. She may not be trained, but she shows up with the right energy every time.
