Namaste, my name is Ashwini Gupta. I am a Therapist, Intuitive Life Coach, Shamanic Practitioner, Animal Communicator, and soul-level intuitive channel with 20+ years of experience supporting individuals through life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and spiritual growth. My approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Vedanta, mindfulness-based practices, and intuitive healing to help clients reconnect with their deeper sense of self, purpose, and inner wisdom. I offer a warm, grounded, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their struggles while also moving toward a more meaningful and values-aligned life. ACT supports psychological flexibility by helping clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while taking values-guided action. Vedanta offers a spiritual framework for understanding the soul’s divine nature, the oneness of existence, and the deeper meaning behind our human experiences. In addition to being a therapist, I also offer shamanic practice, animal communication, and soul-level intuitive channeling through my private practice. While these esoteric modalities are separate from traditional therapy services, they deeply influence the grounded, intuitive, and spiritually informed presence I bring to my work with therapy clients. My intention is to support clients in feeling more connected to themselves, their values, their inner knowing, and the larger web of life around them.

I have worked extensively with a diverse patient population, such as adolescents in high-school settings, geriatrics, those with developmental differences, and those with dual diagnoses, among others. Although predominantly trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, I also work from a humanistic model, maintaining a humble and tentative stance, since I believe empathy, compassion, and attunement are at the bedrock of the relational dynamic. I am committed to working with you to improve your overall mental and emotional health and well-being, through a collaborative effort.

I grew up navigating the space between cultures—balancing the desire to fit in with my peers while honoring the Chinese roots my family cherished. Those early experiences taught me how complex identity, belonging, and cultural expectations can feel, especially for those who move between multiple worlds. That understanding eventually led me to AAPI Studies and psychology, where I discovered my passion for supporting Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities. Throughout my training, I sought out opportunities to work directly with AAPI individuals and other marginalized groups. I volunteered with AADAP on community health initiatives, supported research on AAPI depression and perfectionism, and taught CBT-based social skills to veterans with dual diagnoses. Hearing a Hmong social worker speak about the power of multilevel social interventions was the moment I realized social work was where I belonged. After earning my MSW, I worked with veterans experiencing homelessness and with individuals in psychiatric inpatient settings. Today, I serve as a medical social worker in emergency and outpatient settings at the VA and Kaiser. Much of my work has involved supporting geriatric clients through dialysis, end-of-life issues, caregiving challenges, and placement decisions. In recent years, I’ve felt called to reconnect with my roots by creating healing spaces for BIPOC and AAPI communities. My own healing journey has shaped my approach as well. Through mindfulness and loving-kindness practices, I learned to soften the inner critical voice that so many of us carry—especially in communities where perfectionism, pressure, and family expectations can feel ever-present. I also bring lived experience: navigating mental health challenges, AAPI sexuality/gender expectations/conflicts, speech therapy in childhood, addiction, depression, social anxiety, and the pressure of not fitting the “model minority” image. These experiences deepen my belief that therapy should be a compassionate, culturally attuned space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported. Today, I am committed to holding space for AAPI and BIPOC individuals as they explore identity, generational differences, trauma, and healing. I believe there are many different cultural masks that one is wearing at a time that shapes the roles and expectations of what it means to be one's self in the moment. My approach is grounded in mindfulness, self compassion, CBT, ACT and cultural humility—and in the belief that every person has the capacity to grow with the right support.

Hi, I’m Amber. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals, teens, and families through some of life’s hardest and most emotionally overwhelming moments. I know starting therapy can feel intimidating. A lot of people come in worried they’re “too much,” not enough, too emotional, too guarded, or that they somehow should have everything figured out already. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are messy thoughts, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting stress, overthinking, grief, burnout, people-pleasing, anger, sadness, and all. My approach is warm, honest, supportive, and very human. I believe therapy works best when there’s real connection and trust, so I encourage open feedback and fully support therapist shopping to find the right fit. You deserve a therapist you feel comfortable with, not someone you feel like you have to perform for. While I’m compassionate and validating, I also believe growth happens when we are willing to gently look at patterns, perspectives, boundaries, and the stories we tell ourselves. I’ll support you, but I’ll also thoughtfully challenge you when needed in a way that helps build insight, confidence, and emotional growth. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family conflict, self-esteem struggles, life transitions, or simply feeling emotionally exhausted, you do not have to carry it alone. Therapy with me is a collaborative space where we work together to help you better understand yourself, develop healthier coping tools, and move toward the version of your life that feels more peaceful, balanced, and authentic to you.

I understand that healing is a deeply personal journey, and I'm committed to walking alongside my clients with empathy, respect, and professional guidance. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, with a special sensitivity to older adults and those seeking a non-religious therapeutic approach. Whether you're dealing with panic attacks, processing a significant life change like divorce, or working through feelings of guilt and shame, I'm here to support your growth and emotional well-being.
