Therapy with Dr. Gupta
In our first sessions, we’ll focus on clear, concrete strategies that make a difference quickly. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a short-term, research-supported approach that provides practical tools for reducing stress, managing anxiety, and improving day-to-day functioning. You’ll leave sessions with skills you can start applying right away.
If you want to go deeper, we can also look at the underlying patterns that drive how you respond to stress and relationships. Using attachment science, I help clients make sense of how past experiences shape current challenges. This part of the work is about building insight and creating lasting change.
My therapy approach is especially well-suited for adults in demanding, high-pressure professions, where both immediate relief and long-term growth are essential for managing stress, sustaining performance, and improving relationships.
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 specific exercises to help decrease the intensity and duration of your anxiety.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness — the ability to stay present in the moment — is a key part of managing stress and strong emotions. In our sessions, I use mindfulness to help you notice and cope with intense feelings as they arise, without becoming overwhelmed. Then I tailor mindfulness exercises so they are practical and realistic for you to implement between sessions
Evidence-based
CBT has been shown to be effective for a wide range of challenges such as binge eating, bulimia, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, and generalized anxiety. Mindfulness, which is often integrated into CBT, has also been studied widely and shown to help reduce stress, improve focus, and increase emotional regulation.
Before scheduling an appointment, we can have a brief, complimentary phone consultation. This gives me a chance to hear more about you, explain my approach to therapy, and determine if we’re a good fit.
