Getting to know Aastha Chouhan

You may be living with anxiety that won’t quiet down, a heaviness that’s hard to name, or the weight of experiences that shaped you long before you had words for them. Maybe you’ve been holding it all together on your own for a while. You don’t have to keep doing that alone. I’m Aastha Chouhan, and I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, sexual trauma, struggles in relationships and communication, and the cultural and intergenerational pain that often gets passed down quietly through families. Whatever brings you here, you’ll be met without shame or judgment. That’s the heart of how I work, more than any single theory. Together, we’ll slow down and make sense of what you’re feeling, at a pace that feels manageable, so what once felt overwhelming becomes something you can understand and work with. My training is in psychodynamic therapy through the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute. In practice, that means we’ll gently explore how your past and inner world shape the patterns showing up in your life today. I hope our sessions feel warm, collaborative, and even joyful at times. When you’re ready, I’d be glad to hear from you. Request an appointment to get started.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have been trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy through the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute, where I engaged in therapeutic treatment with adults and adolescents experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, intergenerational/cultural trauma, sexual trauma, relationship/communication skills, and more. Oftentimes these challenges can be overwhelming to face alone, and my goal is to create a safe, empathic space with you where we can unpack your experience in a way that is accessible and manageable.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I take a strictly non-shaming, non-judgemental approach to mental health treatment – this is my primary therapeutic framework more so than any one school of thought. In this way, I hope to have the space, presence, and tools necessary for as many people as possible. I hope you find our work together warm, supportive, and joyful, and I look forward to witnessing you thrive.
