My name is Antoinette Gupta. I am an immigrant from Bangalore, India. I have been married for twenty years with a teenage daughter. My family and I lived in England for seven years, where I obtained my Bachelor Degree in Psychology. In 1998, my family immigrated to the United States, and we have lived in here for thirteen years.  I have a Masters of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University and I am specialized in Marriage and Family Therapy. My Masters thesis: "Relationship Advice In The Top Selling Women's Magazine, Cosmopolitan: A Content Analysis" has been published in the Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice. I have experience working with culturally diverse clients including European, Latino, Asian, Asian Indian, Hispanic, African American, and Middle Eastern cultures. I have additional training in Trauma Therapy (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Pre-Marital counseling, Parent Education, Domestic Violence, and Addiction. I have worked at "The Center for Community Justice Partnerships" in Colorado and I provided group education and therapy for families with teenage children. Additionally, I have worked at inpatient drug rehab centers in California (Huntington Beach and Mission Viejo) and provided group and family therapy. My approach to therapy is "eclectic" which incorporates a customized, client centered treatment plan that best fits you. It is vital for me to be aware of the unique influence of family background, culture, religion, and social context when I address your concerns. This aids me in facilitating and guiding you to achieve your goals. I have personally experienced several major life challenges and transitions. Therapy has made it possible for me to experience and recognize the innate resiliency and plasticity that we human beings possess. Therapy has helped me heal and grow stronger as a person. In our journey together, I strive to provide a supportive, non-judgemental, and confidential, atmosphere for you to grow. I feel that therapy has been an invaluable gift in my life and I wish to give the gift to you. I believe that it can transform your life as well. |
