Lavanya Devdas

You have arrived at this place wanting to explore deeper meanings of life, perhaps gain control over things that seem in disarray, or wish to make an internal shift to a place of peace, well-being, strength, and inner harmony. Pursuing therapy is a courageous decision. Whatever the challenges may be, I am happy to journey with you on this path of healing, overcoming, and anchoring. The counseling space that I offer will enable you to lean into your inner wisdom, strengths, skills, and capabilities. I am a pre-licensed professional and hold a Masters in Mental Health and Counseling from Richmont Graduate University. I also hold an MS in Counseling and Psychotherapy, MA in English Literature, and BA in Psychology. My work experience in the US and India has included weaving the intersectionality of equity, health, justice, and healing as an individual, a family, a community, and a world. A curious detail I consider rare is that I worked in the corporate sector for ten years in leading technology companies before my immersion into the development and mental health field! I speak several South Asian languages, including Hindi. In my work thus far, I have offered mental health counseling with trauma-informed approaches and mindfulness practices and have advocated for survivors of domestic violence and other forms of victimization. Furthermore, I worked as a counselor in a college setting, working closely with young persons and their families. I weave person-centered therapy with holistic mindfulness approaches to healing and trauma-informed therapeutic interventions. As a clinician, I aim to support my clients in uncovering their own answers and their own truth, which offers access to their innate capacity for not merely healing but thriving! I believe it is an honor to work with you. The work you do with me will be aimed at revealing a more authentic, happier, and healthier you! I look forward to meeting with you on your journey of overcoming.
