Gottman Couples Therapist Preeti Presswala

I specialize in working with couples using Gottman Method and EFT. Every couple faces challenges, but when communication breaks down or trust is shaken, it can feel overwhelming. Arguments never get resolved, or silence replaces connection. You may feel more like roommates than partners, & intimacy feels far away. Forgiveness seems impossible after betrayal. You want to break the cycle but feel stuck in the same patterns. Part of you wants to stay, but living in the pain feels unbearable. You’ve built an incredible life together, but you’re wondering if this relationship can survive. Visit Therapist-SD to learn more.

People often seek therapy because they are hurting—feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, or a persistent sense of disconnection. I view these not as defects, but as surface expressions of deeper conflicts that deserve thoughtful attention. Meaningful psychotherapy is less about a diagnosis and more about discovering who you are and understanding what makes sense. I understand therapy as a relational space—one where we slow down together and listen closely to what is unfolding between us, exploring how our inner lives are deeply influenced by the early relationships and social worlds we move through.

Do you find yourself skeptical about therapy and how it can help? Perhaps you have tried therapy before but found that the uniqueness of your cultural background, identities, beliefs, struggles, or values weren't held with proper care. As a queer first generation Indian-American, I have personal experience of being raised between two cultures, navigating education and career challenges, and suffering from difficult family dynamics. I approach therapy from a holistic, strengths-based and client-centered perspective which acknowledges the depth and complexity of your identities and lived experiences.

Let’s be real: You’ve been through some shit. You’ve carried so much—navigating trauma, addiction, and challenges that most people can’t even begin to understand.
You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your experiences—a space where you are seen, heard, and supported without judgment about your past.
That’s exactly why I do this.
As a Clinical Director and Licensed Therapist, I work with individuals who feel stuck, misunderstood, and underestimated. Trauma survivors, sex workers, people in recovery, and high-functioning people who are falling apart to heal without giving up who you are.

You thought opening your relationship would bring energy, closeness, and possibility. You imagined feeling more alive, more connected, and more like yourself. Instead, you find yourself carrying worries you never expected. Maybe you feel insecure when your partner sees someone new. Maybe you feel guilty for wanting more than one connection. Or maybe the two of you are stuck in loops of communication that leave you hurt, confused, and questioning the future. You want this to work, but right now it feels heavier than it should. What was supposed to be fun has become overwhelming. Something needs to change.

You are facing the stress and fear of an immigration case that feels deeply personal and overwhelming. You might be holding pain that no one else sees.

Few, if any, of us grow up in an environment that perfectly fits our needs. As we grow, we adapt to our surroundings in ways that may run counter to our vitality, health, and happiness. By exploring and understanding the underlying emotional and psychological patterns that shape our lives, we are able to develop choice in whether to engage in patterns and habits that no longer serve us. As a psychotherapist, I provide a curious, and compassionate presence, lending my heart and mind to this process of self-exploration and self-understanding.
