Dr. Bhavna Lal, Psy.D

I believe in the power of honoring individual identities and experiences, and recognize the importance of cultural background, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and other facets of diversity in shaping one's worldview and mental health. By fostering an inclusive and affirming environment, I strive to create a safe space where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered to explore their unique journey towards well-being. Together we will acknowledge and challenge societal norms and power dynamics that may contribute to distress or oppression, and I will work alongside you to navigate and transcend these barriers. Through a lens of intersectionality, we will explore how various aspects of identity intersect and influence mental health, relationships, and personal growth. At the heart of my approach is a client-centered model of care. I believe that every individual is the expert of their own life and experiences. By providing empathy, acceptance, and genuine positive regard, I support clients in gaining insight, building hope, finding their voice, and accessing their inherent strengths. Therapy sessions are tailored to meet each client's unique needs, preferences, and goals, fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and mutual respect. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or navigating life transitions, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery. My practice is currently accepting new patients, and I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life. Take the first step towards positive change and contact me today to schedule a consultation. Together, we can embark on a transformative therapeutic journey towards greater well-being and fulfillment. You are powerful, and nothing is hopeless.
