Navigate Your Emotional Journey
Overcome obstacles with compassionate counseling support.
About Bhavana Counseling
Philosophy
My approach is rooted in the Sanskrit concept of 'Bhavana,' which means to cultivate, to manifest, or to call into existence. Life is a journey along a path which sometimes has obstacles. I provide a safe place to explore your feelings, emotions, and gain insights about these obstacles to help improve your emotional well-being.
Mission
At Bhavana Counseling, I provide compassionate counseling services to individuals struggling with mental health issues. My goal is to empower clients to improve their overall quality of life.
Approach
I use a variety of evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive-Processing Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Guided Imagery and Mindfulness practices, to help clients overcome negative thought patterns and behaviors. I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, addressing both the mind and body.

REVIEWS
During my life, I have participated in a plethora of Self Growth Courses and worked with various types of Counselors in order to discover how to make peace with some of the deep traumas which I have experienced in my life.
When I first met Leora, from Bhavana Counseling, I thought perhaps that she would be "more of the same", however much to my surprise, amazement and deep gratitude, she was anything but "ordinary" in her approach to some of the very complicated issues and stories I presented her with.
Leora showed me how my emotions, since I was a child, have shaped my life and we began a very deep and intense journey into how I could begin to accept the wounds, the scars and the deep, ingrained betrayal I felt from my mother and "those others" who were in authority over me. As my Counselor, she gave me tools that eventually began to work their "healing magic" and help me to begin a process of forgiveness and love toward those individuals who had participated in those pain filled traumatic experiences.
In my twilight years, I have now developed a sense of calmness and peace and have been able to express my love and care for others in a way that I felt would never have been possible.
Leora has been deeply compassionate in our work on Zoom and has freely shared her wisdom and insights to help me heal a rather chaotic and broken life. Mahala Veda
