Aviya Bensky, LPC

I have called Arizona my home for over 9 years. Upon moving to AZ, I decided to start a new career and went back to school for a Master’s in Counseling from Ottawa University specializing in Trauma, Abuse, and Deprivation. My experience working in mental health for non-profits, residential environments, and group practices inspired me to launch my own practice. 

HaNefesh is Hebrew for “the soul”. It was important to me for the practice name to carry sincere meaning. Reconnecting to your soul  in addition to healing, is what counseling is all about.

I know choosing a therapist is a difficult and important choice. I believe in practicing what I preach. I bring my authentic self to session in order to help you bring yours. With a combination of empathy, skill building, and a smidge of humor I look forward to helping you. Your reconnection to your true self begins here.
