Therapy with Dr. Gupta
In our initial sessions, we'll focus on concrete ways to achieve practical change quickly. This is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a short-term therapy approach with extensive scientific support. If you're interested in a deeper dive, we can understand underlying patterns in your emotional experiences based on attachment science.
Learn skills
Within the first few sessions, you can expect to learn new techniques and skills with immediate practical relevance. If you are starting therapy for difficulties related to anxiety, for example, then you can expect to leave initial sessions with a set of tools to help decrease the intensity and duration of your anxiety.
Mindfulness
An ability to be present in the moment is at the heart of mindfulness. Dr. Gupta utilizes mindfulness to help you understand and cope with strong emotions as experienced during therapy sessions. Then she tailors mindfulness exercises in a way that's realistic and practical for you to complete between sessions.
Evidence-based
Numerous research studies have compared CBT to other forms of treatment and shown that CBT is helpful for issues such as binge eating, bulimia, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, and generalized anxiety. Mindfulness, which has been used within and outside of CBT, has also been studied extensively and shown to reduce stress across many contexts.
