Our Team

Pallavi Lal, MS. LPC Mental Health Therapist

Pallavi Lal, MS, LPC-S

Hi. My name is Pallavi. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona passionate about supporting individuals to find a path to their most Authentic Selves.

I have been in the field of healing since 2006, beginning my journey with the Holistic Healing Arts of Yoga and Hypnotherapy.

Once I entered the Clinical Mental Health Field of Counseling, I gravitated towards assisting individuals who experienced Disordered Personality Traits, Complex Trauma (Generational and Individual) and the Severely Mentally Ill.

The acculturation of my East Indian Heritage and Western upbringing allows me to encompass a humbling culturally sensitive and inclusive perspective. Compassion, Genuineness, and Authenticity are at the core of my Trauma-Focused Approach. Transparency, Humor and Validation is how I offer a safe place of healing and transformation.

Ready to quiet the thoughts in your head? Find a way to be comfortable with your emotions? Of living in anticipation? Improve your relationships? To shift from negative self-talk to a grounded space of self compassion and empowerment?

Let’s reinvent the tools you have been using to benefit your life!
