Aviya Bensky
(She/Her/Hers)
Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
I bring authenticity and a dash of humor into session.
I'm known for my compassionate, empathetic, and honest approach to therapy. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. I believe in the power of laughter and humor as essential elements in the healing process, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. I work collaboratively with each client to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. Together, we will explore effective coping strategies, build resilience, foster emotional well-being, and heal the parts of ourself that are in need. Your well-being is my top priority. I am committed to providing a confidential and non-judgmental space where you can find strength, hope, and the tools needed for healing. Whether you're struggling personally or as a family, I'm here to help you on your journey towards a brighter future.
