Ashwini Gupta
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.

Take a deep breath and know you are no longer alone! I am here to help. I am a therapist with over 20 years of counseling experience. My goal is to help you feel supported in whatever you may be struggling with in your life. I am laid back, trustworthy and easy to talk to. There is no judgement. I only hope you will allow me into your space. I use a client centered, humanistic approach, while keeping careful consideration of cultural concerns and practices. I have experience working with substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma-related life challenges and other life experiences.

I believe that that the value of therapy is having an objective person's eyes and ears on your struggles and that the process can help you move forward when you are feeling "stuck." Identifying your strengths and ideal solutions are part of a treatment plan that helps us stay focused and determine how effective therapy is in your life. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy mode I use to discover what thoughts, feelings and belief systems are at play in feeling "stuck," and produces new ideas about approaching your issues. I am now very excited about implementing the use of a fairly new mode of therapy known as "ACT" that stands for "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy". People walk through this self-discovery process not because it's easy, but to feel better, lighter and more effective in navigating their lives. For the best therapeutic outcome, there needs to be trust and respect between the client and the therapist. I encourage any and all questions to see if we could be a good fit! I have recently decided to add to my bio by specifically letting potential clients know that most of my professional career as a therapist has been in working with sex offenders, their families and victims, as well as having expertise in domestic violence issues. Extreme/ toxic emotional abuse issues are becoming very common and there are now clearly defined cycles of those types of abuse. There seems to be a growing need for attention to these specific problems and a need for a professional who has a lot of experience in addressing these issues. It should also be noted that if someone is in need of sex offender therapy, they must have successfully completed a legally recognized program first. In my private time I enjoy growing organic gardens and cooking with the results, playing outdoors in every season- skiing, camping, hiking, kayaking, and love playing and hiking with my new dog (rescue), Blue. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to discover healthier and more authentic ways of relating to people, but especially ourselves.

Find a therapist near you in American Fork, Utah
Finding a therapist near you in American Fork, Utah starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Utah, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Utah, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals.
