We are a marriage & family therapy corporation, providing individual, relational and group therapy to clients anywhere in California. Additionally, we host workshops and other programs related to cultivating wellbeing, and write about mental health matters.

The word “Avani” comes from one of the earliest known languages on earth, Sanskrit.  Spoken in ancient India – Sanskrit is an Indo-European language related to many worldwide languages spoken today. Avani means ‘the good earth’ in Sanskrit and represents nature, generosity, compassion, strength, life and resilience. 

Some of the values that Avani Counseling embodies include:

Compassion – our goal is to form a respectful and supportive relationship with each of our clients, to recognize and uphold their unique strengths, skills and values. We want our clients to feel seen and heard as individuals with something to offer the world.

Empowerment – by centering the knowledge of our clients as “experts in their own lives” we collaborate with and empower our clients to develop resiliency on their own terms. Sometimes this means redefining what success and happiness look like for them.

Hope – we have our ears tuned for the “bright spots” in our clients’ lives –  the stories of possibility and hope that reside amidst the stories of struggle. By keeping our focus on hope, we seek to walk alongside our clients towards new beginnings.
