Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

Feeling stuck and unhappy but unsure about how to move forward? Therapy can help you find healing, meaning, and fulfillment. I’m here to support you on this journey. Together, we’ll explore your values and work towards both everyday and deeper changes that matter to you. My approach is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I believe in meeting you where you are, focusing on you as a whole person rather than just a diagnosis or problem. Many of my clients have found greater clarity, inner peace, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Are you or your loved one facing the challenges of trauma, suicidal ideation, or self-harm? You're not alone, and there is hope for healing. I’m Aviya Bensky, a Licensed Professional Counselor, specializing in working with adolescents and young adults who are navigating these complex and sensitive issues. 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 strive for more than patient “functioning” as an end goal; I support my patients toward self-actualization and greater inner connection. If you feel stuck, consider a depth psychological approach. Many patients have only experienced supportive or solution-focused therapies, not realizing how these approaches inadvertently maintained their unhelpful patterns. Together, we will strive to find the right answer, not just the quick one.

Welcome to Scottsdale Women's Psychology, a boutique psychology practice specializing in women's empowerment through the delivery of gender-sensitive, research-supported psychotherapy for women.

Feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Past hurts can linger. I offer a supportive, judgment-free space for open communication. Together, we can explore past experiences to find healing and closure, leading to greater self-awareness. Feeling stressed? I'll equip you with tools to manage it. You set the goals - stronger relationships, better self-esteem, or simply more happiness. We work collaboratively. I offer insights, but you choose the direction. My honest, respectful approach fosters inner strength to build a brighter future. Let's navigate your path together.

Taking the first step in counseling can be the most difficult one. I am committed to meeting each individual, couple, or family as unique and with their own journey in the present, from the past, and for the future. I offer a Christian focus to counseling for those who desire this. I am committed to providing a safe environment where clients can experience the freedom to explore their own beliefs and make their own choices regarding life and relationships. Every client, couple, or family brings their own perspective(s), and I look forward to getting to know each individual or system.

Struggling with anxiety, overcome by stress, can't "think" your way out of that box? I can help you get unstuck, and work with your own unique strengths to overcome problem areas, and find greater joy and peace of mind. I offer a safe, welcoming environment in which to understand yourself and others, and to use the past as a powerful guide for gaining insight and clarity about how to get more of what you really want. I help individuals and couples create healthy communication and connection in their relationships, with greater confidence and self-awareness. I am also an ADHD-certified clinical services provider (ADHD-CCSP).

You have taken the first step towards creating the new story of your life, and living the life you truly want to live. I’m here to help you experience the change, relief, and lightness you’re looking for that makes a real difference in the lives of individuals and couples.

Based in Phoenix, I work with clients around the country and the world as licensing allows, including via Telehealth. I'm so glad you're here. The world can feel like an inhospitable home at times. Relationships can be unsettled, self-medicating can dominate, and the past can haunt like a persistent familiar ghost. Healing is necessary, because you are necessary. No matter how you may struggle - there is no one else quite like you, you are the very best at being you, you possess gifts and magic that only you can bring to the world. Therapy is about coming home to yourself - your physical body, emotional body or heart, and mind.

I am passionate about the opportunity to work with clients to overcome emotional and life challenges and empower them to develop the skills necessary to improve emotional and physical health and live a meaningful, content, and fulfilled life. Addressing the root of most emotional conditions lies most often in resolving traumatic experiences and managing life stressors more effectively. The core issues are addressed by first identifying and acknowledging them, gaining a better understanding of their impact, and then reprogramming the mind and learning coping skills to better navigate life’s challenges.
