Lavanya Mangalore, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Lavanya takes a thoughtful, client-centered approach to working with adolescents, focusing on the internal and external pressures that shape how teens see themselves and the world around them. She specializes in helping teens work through stress, explore questions of identity, and build stronger emotional regulation skills at a pace that feels right for them.

Lavanya creates a space where teens feel genuinely heard rather than directed toward a predetermined outcome. She draws on a range of evidence-based approaches, adapting her style to fit each teen’s personality, background, and goals so that therapy feels relevant and meaningful rather than generic.
