Zachary Benezra
Pre-Licensed Professional
Hey! My name is Zach. I veer towards an eclectic approach and I am well-versed in many different theories and modalities. My approach to life is driven by the principle of Tikkun Olam, which in Hebrew means repairing the world and making it better than before we got here. I believe that as a therapist, it is my role to help you find better ways to manage the aspects of your life that are causing you distress.
I am comfortable holding space for anyone, even in their darkest times. My unique intellect, mixed with humor, can help create the perfect space for growth in the therapy room. I have experience working with people of different backgrounds and identities in multiple industries. I welcome the opportunity to work with you to formulate a beautiful connection and learn about your life. If you feel drawn to work with me, I assure you that you will not regret it.
