Welcome to Avita PsyCare, a boutique group practice with an emphasis on the reduction of anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, and other self-defeating patterns of thinking and behaving.

Dr Khodik is easy to talk to and he really listens to everything you say before suggesting plans for improvement.

Time flies by during these sessions with Dr. Khodik. It's a safe, comfortable space for self-discovery.

Verified patient
Was not clean about insurance that they accepted.
Accepted appointment but never showed up. No communication. No ability to call his office and speak to someone just leave a message. Very unprofessional. Dont waste your time
Verified patient
Great Doctor, open setting, although video and not in an office, making it a comfortable setting was everything. Doctor was a great listener, and made our conversation a whole lot easier. very knowledgeable in her field, and made another appointment with her to get myself right. Recommended, you shall not regret choosing these folks..
Verified patient
This was an experience that was a waste of time. This doctor did not provide me with any help that could help me mentally and charged me money even-though he states he took my insurance.
Verified patient
The appointment time and session was awesome.
Verified patient
Helped me get perspective
Excellent and quite affordable
Very professional and asked great questions. Quickly took in a lot of information and made excellent points/observations without overly controlling the session. The time spent felt very productive (keeping in mind that therapy is an ongoing process.)
Verified patient
compassionate and caring approach.
Very professional. I was very happy with his tone and manner. He made me feel comfortable right away and seemed to really understand and respond to what I was telling him. I would definitely recommend him!
Verified patient
Excellent
Verified patient
Great dr.
Verified patient
Our conversation was a bit stilted and awkward, and I felt his comments/interpretations were more general rather than a direct response to my case. He did seem kind and attentive though, so maybe someone else will find him a better fit.
It was my first time in therapy and I was pleasantly surprised with how comfortable Dr. Kalman made me feel. Walking out of the first appointment I felt like I had already made reflections I hadn’t otherwise realized before. I will definitely return to continue progressing with Dr. Kaplan’s great bedside manner.
First session, I was not paired up with Dr. Khodik. I had someone who was still great. It was nerve-racking, but Dr. Pasternak always tried to make me feel as comfortable as she could. It was extremely easy talking to her. I definitely look forward to the second session!!
Verified patient
Gila is amazing! Her patience and support have truly helped me grow in the time I’ve worked with her. Highly recommend!!!
Verified patient
Gila is amazing! I feel that she is always listening and providing me with new ways to rethink about a certain situation.
Verified patient
Gila is empathetic, calming, and a great clinician. I couldn't think of a better therapist!
Verified patient
I have loved working with Gila! She is a great listening and is incredibly understanding and sympathetic. She has pushed me to think about things in new ways and find new strategies to test out. I am very grateful for her continued support and can tell she cares deeply about all of her clients.
Verified patient
Gila is truly a terrific therapist. She has helped me so much in the short time I have been seeing her. She creates a safe and therapeutic space for you to really reflect. I couldn't recommend her enough.

Gila is great! She is a great listener but also helps you to see different perspectives and challenge yourself. I really enjoy working with her.
Verified patient
Amazing !!!!! Soo patient with me and so Understanding and so willing to help she’s the best !!! So nice and so sweet and very professional
Verified patient
I’ve seen many thrapist in my oetume over a span of 37 years Gila ha been the best therapist I’ve ever encountered she’s very professional and extremely caring . She is also very punctual with my busy lifestyle i means a lot to me . I look forward every week to her sesions .
Verified patient
Provider, although sweet… is not in network with united healthcare/nyship. The office said they validated the insurance. They validated it wrong. I had to call carelon which is my behavioral side of mental health benefits. I emailed provider to which she calles and said she was calling me back and never did.
From the very first session, Gila made me feel heard and understood, creating a safe space where I could open up about things I hadn’t been able to address before. Her approach is both compassionate and professional which I believe is very important. I can confidently say that I have never felt so comfortable and safe before. What stands out the most is how Gila tailors each session to my specific needs, and the progress I've made has been beyond what I initially thought was possible. Whether we’re discussing everyday challenges or more complex issues, I always leave feeling like I have a better understanding of myself and actionable tools to move forward. I highly recommend Gila to anyone looking for guidance, support, and personal growth. Her genuine care and expertise have made a significant positive impact on my life.
Verified patient
She is truly amazing. Her compassion and warmth made it easy for me to open up right away. She helps me understand my emotions and find healthy ways to process them. After every session, I walk away feeling better. Having her as a therapist was the best decision I made for myself.
Verified patient
Gila is extremely professional and allows for a safe environment to feel heard and validated. It is always a positive experience each time we meet.
Verified patient
Gila is a skilled therapist working with us as a couple. She is thoughtful, patient and meets us where we're at. She's knowledgable about relationship dynamics and helps work through topics that were important to each of us. We are grateful we found her and worked alongside her for many months.
Verified patient
Gila is great at understanding me and my partners needs. We are Jewish but not very observant and wanted a Jewish counselor who will understand our cultural customs but still speak to us strictly as a counselor and so far so good!! 10/10!!
I really don't know what I have done without Gila for the last couple of years. She's a master at what she does. She knows how to gently guide my thought patterns into a safer approach without being invasive. I've had her de-escalate a moment of hysteria with a single sentence. My mental struggles are already so much easier to manage even though I still have a long way to go. She's validating at the right moments, firm on others, and encourages me to consider other thoughts of view without triggering any defensiveness from me. I cannot recommend her enough, and I'm so thankful for our weekly sessions.
Verified patient
I found my Therapist Gila Brenner through Zocdoc and from the first session I felt the connection. She made me feel very comfortable and is a great listener. I am looking forward to continue my session ls with her.
Verified patient
I was happy to find Gila Brenner as my therapist through Zocdoc. I felt that the connection was there immediately, and I was able to open up and feel comfortable sharing my life and opening up like I never did before. She is a good listener, and I appreciate that.
Verified patient
Dr. Gila, is very nice, kind and understanding. She listens and makes sure you are listening to each other! She has given my husband and I some serious tips and advice, we are becoming stronger everyday!
