Therapy for South Asian and Indian adults — from a psychologist who understands the context.
Dr. Gupta is a clinical psychologist whose parents immigrated to the United States from India. She has spent her career working with high-achieving adults, and brings both clinical expertise and personal understanding to her work with South Asian and Indian clients in New York City, Atlanta, and across the United States via telehealth.
What brings South Asian clients to therapy
Many South Asian adults navigate a particular kind of pressure — high expectations from family, a strong drive to succeed, and the sense that some things are better kept private. Finding a therapist who understands that context without having to explain it from scratch can make a meaningful difference.
Dr. Gupta works with South Asian adults on the full range of concerns she addresses in her practice — stress, anxiety, eating, and the emotional weight of fertility treatment and family building. Within that work, she understands the cultural layer: the weight of family expectations around marriage and children, the complexity of making personal choices that may diverge from what parents or community expect, and the particular pressures that come with being caught between two sets of values.
Fertility and family building — a note for South Asian clients
For South Asian individuals and couples navigating infertility or considering donor conception, there are layers of complexity that go beyond the medical process. The pressure to have children — and to have them in a particular way — can be acute within South Asian families and communities. When donor eggs, sperm, or embryos are involved, questions about racial and cultural identity become especially meaningful: what it means for the child, what to share with family, and how to navigate a process that may feel at odds with cultural expectations.
Dr. Gupta has extensive experience working with individuals going through fertility treatment and donor conception, and is attuned to the specific concerns South Asian clients bring to this process. She provides both individual therapy and brief third-party consultations for those building families with donor gametes.
Dr. Gupta sees clients in New York City, Atlanta, and across most of the United States via telehealth. If you are looking for a therapist who understands both the clinical and cultural dimensions of your experience, the first step is a brief consultation.
