Atzat Nefesh (Hebrew: עצת נפש; English: Psychological Advice) is an Orthodox Jewish conversion therapy organization based in Israel that promotes sexual orientation change efforts.
Specifically, it addresses homosexuals, victims of sexual abuse, and people who are addicted to masturbation, pornography, or prostitution.
[2] Atzat Nefesh upholds the view that by strengthening the masculinity of homosexuals, they will discover their hidden, inborn heterosexuality.
[4] Azulay's report indicates that Atzat Nefesh continues to refer people to uncredentialed “therapists” whose training is questionable and who are not considered mental health professionals.
In 2015, chairman Reuven Israel Welcher was criminally charged with sexually assaulting conversion therapy patients.
