More about Gurpreet
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
Clients who come to me tend to experience a profound transformation into becoming the person they want to be by experiencing a therapeutic relationship with me where I am my true and empathic self free of judgement.
I am a client centered therapist who likes to empower my clients to become free from their symptoms. This approach involves me offering you a therapeutic relationship where I am my genuine, empathic self where I offer no judgement. Through that environment you are able to work through your pain, gain insight, and find the answers to what is troubling you. This is a very healing and empowering experience. This way you reach your fullest potential. I am warm, supportive, accepting, and understanding.
I have been working in private practice for 10 years. And it has been my passion. I have much experience working with those suffering from depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also have worked with those struggling with addiction, bipolar disorder, and other life troubles. My clients tend to start feeling better and experience change within a few weeks. It would be an honor to be a part of your healing journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Extremely knowledgeable, and empathetic. She has helped me more than i can ever properly thank her for.
Dr. Paul is an amazing therapist and person. She has helped me out extremely, and has made time for me when needed. I couldn't recommend her more.
Choosing the right therapist isn't easy, but I am grateful to have found Dr. Paul. Even after just a few sessions, I already feel more focused and at ease. I value her considerate approach and the safe environment she has created for me to express myself and feel understood.
I was lucky enough to be paired with Dr. Paul upon signing up for the service, and I’m very grateful for it. Not only is Dr. Paul patient and understanding, but she also challenges me to dig deeper when reflecting on different aspects of my life. Anyone else who has the opportunity to work with Dr. Paul is in good hands
Dr. Paul makes me feel safe enough to work through my trauma. It's not always pretty, but I overcame many obstacles with her guidance. She is very professional and open-minded. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Dr. Paul, for being my therapist.
Dr.Paul’s therapy session with me was well worth it! This was my first therapy session. She helped me have big realizations in such a short period of time. I appreciated how she never judged me and always held space for me to articulate how i felt, what i was thinking, & the things I have experienced without judgement. She was patient compassionate, empathetic, and honest. She moves at your pace and allows you to choose how the therapy session goes based on how youre feeling and what you want the topic of discussion to be. I recommend her to anyone whose ready for deep reflection about yourself.
So far, Dr. Paul is awesome and has been helpful. thank you!
Extremely helpful! I love talking with Dr. Paul! The level of empathy that she displays is genuinely incredible! She has helped me to an extent far beyond what i believed possible.
I am so grateful I was paired w Dr. Paul. She has offered me everything I need during changing life situations. The biggest thing: extremely sincere empathy. Then, remembering so much about me, flexibility, recommendations for podcasts, books, etc . She’s even helped me navigate conflicting recommendations from my kids’ therapists. She uses her wisdom & my modalities. She even makes me laugh when I feel terrible. With Dr Paul it doesn’t seem like an App pairing. I’ve found a therapist that is as good or better than the only one who really helped me before. And that’s after probably a dozen other tries. I’m very lucky. I hope everyone else on betterhelp is equally well paired, but I think Dr Paul is an ideal match for many.
She is the best, my life is much brighter because of her.
I am SO GRATEFUL for the compassion and calm Dr. Gurpreet Paul offers. I've talked to her 3 times, and even after the first session I felt so incredibly validated for the things I'm feeling that are going on around me. She listens, rephrases in incredibly useful ways, and shows how feelings come from places and are not something irrelevant or something that could necessarily be meditated away or ignored. I'm looking forward to a growing relationship with her because every one of the 3 sessions has helped me contextualize, given me skills, made me feel heard, and helped me live this anxious time we all face in my own individualize way successfully.
Dr. Paul is always encouraging and empathetic. She listens intently and is very understanding.
I have been working with Dr. Paul for only two weeks now and can see more change and improvement than I have in the years of therapy that I have done prior to her. She is such a genuine and empathetic therapist. It helped me have a higher sense of realization about the trauma and anxiety that I am currently going through. She understands my vision and what I am looking to gain through this therapy experience. I would highly recommend her!
She listens very well, come highly recomended
I’m someone who has never opened up or had any level of therapy. Dr. Paul didn’t come across as the usual therapist that I had seen on TV. She talked to me as a friend that I could truly open up with and be honest. After two months of conversations with Dr. Paul I was feeling like I was on the right path both professionally and personally. I would encourage if your someone thinking of trying therapy, have a conversation with Dr. Paul.
