Rose

Dr Rose Gupta, MSW

Psychoanalyst

“I am a psychoanalyst, psychotherapist, and a licensed clinical social worker in private practice. I see adults, couples, and seniors.”

About Me

I offer a thoughtful space where adults, couples, and seniors can explore their inner worlds. As a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, I help you uncover the deeper patterns influencing your relationships and well-being. We work together to make sense of how past experiences shape your present. This gentle, in-depth approach fosters lasting clarity. It helps you gain profound personal understanding.

Approach

Sessions move between quiet reflection and thoughtful questions to help you notice recurring ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. In my San Francisco office and via secure online sessions in English, we keep a steady pace that balances exploration with practical grounding—sometimes tracking a memory, sometimes testing a new response between meetings. That rhythm supports work on anxiety, grief, trauma, mood shifts, and relationship patterns in language you recognize. Many adults, couples, and elders find this attentive, steady process steadying and clarifying.
