Michael Elkin, IFS Senior Trainer

Case consultations with Girvani were excellent. She draws upon a vast range of experience and clinical modalities, and I found her consultation to be focused, practical, and well-attuned to my needs. Highly recommended!”
Mark Lange, MEd., Psychotherapist

I have been privileged to have Dr. Girvani Leerer as a supervisor, consultant, and teacher for the past six years. She has been an integral part of my development as a clinician and has stimulated my curiosity and learning about novel treatment approaches for trauma survivors, particularly Internal Family Systems Therapy. She is extremely knowledgeable, with a wealth of clinical experience that she brings to bear on her supervision, consultation and teaching. She is dedicated to the learning of her students and supervisees, and to the wellbeing of the clients that they treat.

In her roles as therapist, consultant and teacher, Girvani is incredibly precise and integrative, in both her thinking and actions.  She is quite skilled in assessing the needs of others (clients, students, consultees) and responding with great sensitivity, clarity, and attunement.  In her work, she draws on and utilizes a range of models and modalities, offering a breadth of wisdom and clinical capacity.  I have referred many clients and professionals to Girvani over the years.  And, without exception, she has received rave reviews!

Dr. Leerer provided me with expert consultation within an IFS framework. She carefully listened to my concerns, and consistently responded with knowledgeable, accurate and wise counsel. She offered specific suggestions regarding working with difficult parts. In addition, Dr. Leerer was exceptionally competent in working with parts of me that were triggered by certain clients. Jonathan Purinton, LCPC, Psychotherapist

Girvani is a very gifted clinician, consultant and adviser about both spiritual and psychological (and where these two dimensions meet) concerns that people present to therapists and healers. She is trained in a full range of treatment modalities, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Clinical Hypnosis, and the treatment of dissociative disorders.  She is well-versed in the latest treatments for trauma survivors, and is unique in her ability to integrate these many modalities and respond appropriately to both clients and clinicians seeking guidance with their clients.   She has supervised many clinicians in the past ten years, and is gifted in helping therapists develop their own gifts as they draw from her experience and knowledge.   She is a great resource!
Laurie Brown, Ed.D., Licensed Psychologist

When I would feel stuck with a client or issue, Girvani would help me to recognize and heal my own parts that prevented me from being fully present and compassionate with a client.  I never felt judged, only helped.  She is an extremely trustworthy and skilled teacher who has a lot to give.  Her vast experience in the field and her wide-open heart made it a pleasure to receive her counsel.
