Ashmita is a couples therapist whose work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and an attachment-informed understanding of relationships. She works with couples experiencing recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, communication difficulties, and patterns where partners feel increasingly misunderstood or stuck. In sessions, Ashmita focuses on identifying the relational cycle rather than placing blame on either partner. She helps couples slow down reactive interactions and explore the more vulnerable emotions underneath anger, defensiveness, withdrawal, or repeated arguments, supporting partners in responding to each other with greater awareness and intention. She also brings a strong systemic and culturally sensitive lens to couples work. She pays attention to family-of-origin influences, in-law dynamics, gendered expectations, parenting differences, and the pressures that can arise when partners are balancing their relationship with family responsibilities. She helps couples strengthen their relationship while finding healthier ways to navigate these external influences. Her trauma-informed approach also considers how individual emotional experiences can become activated within relationships. When one partner is carrying significant emotional distress or trauma, she explores how this may affect the couple dynamic and supports both partners in developing healthier ways of coping and relating. Ashmita works with couples navigating communication breakdowns, high conflict, emotional disconnection, family and in-law challenges, parenting differences, cultural and gender-role expectations, trust and betrayal, and attachment-related patterns. She is also queer-affirmative and brings experience working with diverse communities. Her style combines emotional exploration with practical regulation and de-escalation strategies, helping couples manage difficult conversations and gradually develop more constructive ways of relating to one another.
