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 :)

I have been going to Ms. Aparna Gupta for 3 months for Borderline Personality Disorder, suicidal thoughts, and depersonalization/derealization. She is very patient, accessible, ************** and empathetic. I will always remember the care and compassion extended to me. Each session has been time well spent, and she offered me a unique perspective on therapy which has really helped me with my problems. I feel much more confident about myself now, and can notice a lot of my maladaptive thought patterns and actively change them, which has helped me immensely. The journey to getting better is a slow and patient one, and it’s been made easier by Ms. Aparna Gupta. Thank you ma’am! (Female, 20)

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 .
We met with Ms. Aparna Gupta for psycho-educational assessment for CBSE concessions. Interacting with Ms. Aparna Gupta was a refreshing experience. She has this wonderful ability to put her patient at ease which is so very crucial in eliciting information that would help in making a diagnosis. What struck us particularly is her professionalism and commitment. She was extremely patient with us and listened attentively to the answers to her questions. Her eye and ear for detail was another stand out feature in our experience. We would gladly recommend Ms. Gupta to students who require psycho-educational assessment for CBSE concessions.
We visited Ms Aparna Gupta about a month back. While we went to her, we were lost & lacked faith as we had been let down terribly by two renowned psychologists earlier. We found her totally committed, one who would not rest till she identified the problem, never gave unwarranted advice & patiently waited for us to open up. She exuded empathy while maintaining appropriate professional distance. This encouraged us to share our thoughts & feelings. We are forever grateful to Ms Gupta for being sensitive, caring & trustworthy. We highly recommend her. Shelly & Pradeep Agarwal

I have only taken one session and it's usually supposed to an induction of sorts but it was incredibly helpful. Talking to someone who gave knowledgeable advice of what to do to solve my issues calmed me down greatly. I plan to take regular sessions from the doctor. She was very patient and seemed to know what she was doing, which helped centre me better. All in all, I would recommend people to not let their issues fester and seek help if they feel they need it. Would recommend her without a doubt.

For first three sessions the doctor only listened to my issues patiently which helped me to open up about my problems. Thereafter the interaction became easy and smooth.
The doctor gave few exercises which were tailor-made ti fit my requirement
The doctor even attended my call in odd hours
The doctor told me that I will be fully cured the day I stop using her as my crutch. This jolted my inner core and I decided to come to a situation when I don't have to take the therapy any more. And this helped me a lot.
Evn after two years I can still call her to discuss any problem and she listens patiently and advices accordingly.
Her approach to treatment is scientific and she is ready to change her treatment technique to arrive at the best possible solution.

She is fairly slow and was typing on the computer throughout which is very distracting. She asked the same questions thrice. *** ****** ***** ******* *** ************ **** ***** ********* She reiterated what I was already aware of multiple times not sharing proper solution or guidance. Wouldn’t recommend her ** * ********* should be friendly and much more understanding.
