Culturally Attuned

Therapy in California

Based in Los Angeles, serving clients virtually across California

Therapy can feel different when you don’t have to explain every layer of your background, identity, or experience before feeling understood.

A Space for Identity, Belonging, and Self-Understanding

Many clients come to therapy carrying tension between different parts of themselves or different worlds they move through. Questions of identity, belonging, relationships, inherited patterns, and self-expression can shape how we experience anxiety, connection, and emotional wellbeing.

Therapy offers space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded and authentic way.

We offer a unique combination of evidence based approaches to bring you the most relief:

  • A relational and psychodynamic approach 

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Evidence based breathwork

Meet Bhavana de Montebello

Bhavana works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. She is especially drawn to working with thoughtful, sensitive individuals and those moving through periods of deep change.

Her approach is depth-oriented, trauma-informed, and grounded in authentic human connection. Drawing from psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, mindfulness, somatic practices, and ACT, she creates a space that feels warm, grounded, and genuinely attuned.
