Portrait of Pallavi Lal, Therapist and founder of Expanding Horizons Counseling.

Pallavi Lal, MS, LPC-S, EMDR CIT, IIE-CT, DBT-C

Integrative Trauma Therapist
 
Nearing 19 years of experience in the Mental Health and Holistic Wellness field, I work mostly with Adults to create a healing journey meeting you where you are.  Specializing to support First Generation and Multi-Cultural upbringing, I blend my own lived experience to navigate cultural differences, deconstruct biases, and manage generational expectations.

Through personalized strategies, I empower you to achieve emotional well-being, inner peace, and lasting transformation. We work together to Unburden and beFriend those parts that are in pain and lost so you can feel whole and be confident – one tethered breath at a time.
 

As an AZBBHE Board Supervisor and an EMDRIA approved Consultant in Training(CIT), I empower Clinicians towards skill development and proficiency.  We work together to master IFS and EMDR Integration, promote Ethical Decision Making, and deepen into an Embodied professional identity.

In alignment with BIPOC, Global Majority and LGBTQIA+ Folks, I honor and value your perspective and look forward to connecting on this path to YOUR MOST AUTHENTIC SELF!
