Getting to know Javali Avineni
I strive to provide a safe and comfortable space for my clients to be themselves without judgement. I believe communication in an honest way is important in life. That is what I hope to imbue in my counseling sessions with my clients. Listening to and working on one’s own self can get us to the root of any problem.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I aim to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while treating a client. My goal is to empower the clients to take a front seat in their healing journey by providing them with the necessary skills and techniques. I believe every client has their own life experiences, cultural values and world views, which are important to address and accept during our journey together as counselor and client to foster understanding, growth and healing.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis.
Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork.
I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.

I've only had one session with her. So far so good. She seems very down to earth. She's very clear and easy to talk with.

A great therapist with a surprisingly refreshing take.
November 23, 2025Justin S.Verified patientVideo visit
I saw this therapist briefly (about three weeks, including intake sessions) and decided not to continue. During a discussion about session frequency, I was told that clients who see her twice a week typically have suicidal ideation, and that therapy should not be used as a “crutch.” Given that I shared having significant family issues, no job, and limited social support, this felt invalidating and minimizing of my mental health concerns.
She also mentioned working six days a week and being tired, and questioned what I would do if she took a day off, which made me feel hesitant to express my needs and feel like requesting additional sessions was a burden. There were also constant moments of yawning and responses like “that makes sense” before I had finished speaking, which made me feel unheard. The overall tone of our interactions felt dismissive and left me feeling judged rather than supported.
She has a very clinical, detached approach, but it was not the right fit for me.
