Meet Ivona Bhadha, LCSW
Hi Dear One,
I’m Ivona Bhadha, a licensed psychotherapist based in West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, Florida. Thank you for being here. I believe every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and flourish — and that therapy can be the map that helps guide you back to yourself.
For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping adults, couples, and families throughout Palm Beach County work through trauma, grief, anxiety, and relationship struggles. My role isn’t to “fix” you. It’s to help you reconnect with your strengths, release what no longer serves you, and create a life that feels safe, connected, and authentic.
My Approach
I often describe myself as a cartographer of the inner world. You tell me where you want to go (what your “heart’s desire” is) and I’ll help draw a map that gets you there. This may include building trust, restoring emotional balance, or creating a deeper sense of safety in your body and relationships. Together, we’ll use this map not just in therapy, but as a resource you can carry with you long after our work ends.
My therapeutic style blends compassion with advanced clinical training. I am highly trained in:
Trauma-informed therapy including the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM)
Attachment-focused therapy such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples
Internal Family Systems (IFS) for integrative, deep healing
This unique blend allows me to support clients beyond symptom relief, guiding them into lasting transformation and resilience.

What to Expect in Our Work Together
Since beginning my practice in 2002, I’ve seen again and again that real healing happens when people feel truly seen, safe, and supported. My role isn’t to “fix” you — it’s to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your strengths, quiet the inner critic, and find balance in your relationships.
In therapy with me, you can expect:
A safe, non-judgmental space where your story matters
Tools to cultivate self-compassion and reduce anxiety
Support in navigating trauma and attachment wounds that shape your relationships
Guidance for finding steadiness during life transitions or caregiving roles
A steady presence who believes in your capacity to heal and flourish
Beyond my credentials and training, what drives me is a deep belief in the human capacity for transformation. I’ve led groups for stress reduction, nervous system regulation, and emotional restoration — and I know that growth is possible when the right support is in place.
I offer in-person sessions for residents of West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, as well as virtual therapy for clients across Florida. If you’re seeking trauma therapy, couples counseling, or family support, I would be honored to walk this path with you.
