My Approach
I combine clinical expertise with deep compassion to create a nurturing environment for growth. Grounded in evidence-based practices, my approach offers personalized support tailored to each patient's unique journey—helping you feel more at ease, build self-understanding, and move toward greater well-being.
I view the therapeutic alliance as a critical agent of change in psychotherapy. Whether working with adolescents, adults, or couples, I aim to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment in which my patients can examine the challenges that have emerged in their lives, to explore barriers to meaningful change, and to work toward improving their quality of life.

Dr. Aviva Stavsky-Benor
Dr. Stavsky-Benor is a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive training in the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, interpersonal difficulties, and adjustment challenges. She received her PhD in clinical psychology from Hofstra University. During her doctoral training, she completed a predoctoral internship at the Brooklyn VA Medical Center as well as additional training at Bellevue Hospital and Northwell Health’s Zucker Hillside Hospital. Subsequently, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship and currently serves as an assistant clinical professor of psychology and clinical supervisor for psychiatry residents at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.

Her work with couples draws from Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 3 Trained) and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy models. She takes particular interest in understanding all aspects of her patients’ identities through their lens in order to facilitate increased insight and promote a robust sense of self-efficacy.
