I went first time because I needed help and did not know where to go. I kept going because Dr. Aparna made me feel safe, to open up about issues in my life I do not share with my closest friends. She helped me realize the root of the issue, and how multiple issues in life can pile up to cause certain conditions which have to be solved one by one. I thank her for helping me when I felt lost and recommend her to people who do not know what to expect from therapy.

Aparna Gupta Mam has been my psychologist in helping me fight against my OCD. Before I met her, I was convinced that it is impossible for me to come out of this OCD's loop of thoughts. She is experienced and intellectual, and has powerfully positive vibes. Even though I had failed in initial few tasks against my ocd, she still supported and assured me that together we will get over it. She did hard to investigate about my OCD and found the solutions, and systematically assisted me in first completing smaller goals then target bigger ones. Finally, quite soon I successfully faced and won my ocd fears. It was a wonderfull experience, and every part of that entire process was necessary in me overcoming my OCD. I'm really indebted to her that I'm living the life, which God has gifted me, in a wonderful way and enjoying the moments. It was a paradigm shift between my previous lifestyle of continous worrying and being anxious all the time, to the life of excitement, adventures and taking pleasures of life, fearlessly. Thank you so much Aparna Mam. I hope others like me get gift of worry free life from you.

*** ****** ** ************* It felt as if there was no empathy and whole environment for a councillor was quite low energy itself. There was no warmth which you would expect from a psychologist. Quite unsure of her.

she might be good but felt very blunt in terms of communicating the issueshe hardly took 5 mins asking 2-3 questions and decided the problem Also she seems to be spending time what is fixed and not discussing the issue and giving a solution.

Difficult to connect with the doctor on a mental level even after multiple sessions. ****** ****** **** ************* *** not offering any solutions, concepts, or guidelines is not the way ahead- seems more like a delaying tactic. The doctor seems to believe that the solutions come from the patient themselves - perhaps true but without any direction ***** ***** ********** ** ******** ** ***** ****** ***** ** **** ********* Would advise patients to at least visit one another counselor ** *** * ****** ***********

Doctor diagnosed my condition precisely as Borderline personality disorder as I was confused if I had bipolar too. I have been taught DBT & ACT skills and Doctor has enough patience & non judgemental attitude towards my progress. I used to feel guilty for standing up for myself but doctor has been teaching it's ok to love oneself with feeling guilt. I feel more confident & motivated after each session as I had struggled with suicidal thoughts for years. Best thing is if I misunderstand anything, doctor makes sure she's using the right words so I get her correctly to focus on my growth. Even my friends are happy to see my improvement in my behavior and asked me to thank her for being an excellent therapist.

Dr Aparna is a very experienced doctor in couples therapy. She has helped me and my husband a lot in last year. It was a complete breakdown and point of no return. She broke down the problem into parts and then took us through the same issue by issue. We had individual sessions and couple sessions one after another and our individual therapy was also going on in tandem. She helped break resistances and make commitments.
She made some reality checks acceptable and also helped with anger management. She also works in a very scientific way with models and theories which are applicable and reflective.
I would recommend seeing her for any of the psychological problems one is facing and if one is low on self awareness. She will simplify. She is highly confidential and impartial. I would also recommend her for severe depression cases. Thanks Aparna. You save lives :)

Diagnosing a mental illness like OCD is very difficult and Aparna ma'am was the one who did it for me. She was my second therapist who gave me clarity of my symptoms .She first of all comforted me with her friendly nature and I remember one incident in which she shared one experience of her life so that I can open up . The content of my OCD is very disturbing and it's very tough to tell someone ,even to my counselor .She suggested me to do ACT therapy along with Cognitive behavior therapy and it had a great impact on my condition. We even did some recordings to help me with my OC symptoms.
I could stop blaming myself ... OCD is all about blaming and having guilt and anxiety for some obsession on which you don't have control . I'm glad to have a therapist like Aparna ma'am .
