Meet Dr. Gurpreet Kaur
Licensed professional counselor, executive coach and educator — helping people move beyond coping into lasting inner steadiness.
Hello, I'm Gurpreet.
My journey to helping others discover their true selves started with my own experience of feeling lost as a young college student. As I explored my emotional struggles and feelings of being lost, I discovered the world of psychology, where I found my passion for understanding human connection, resilience, and self-empowerment.
Today, as a licensed professional counselor, executive coach, and educator, I dedicate my life to helping people unlock their full potential and live and lead with purpose and compassion. When I first started my private practice in Washington, DC, many of my clients told me, "I have achieved all this, but something is still missing." That question continues to shape my work.
The most rewarding part of this work? Watching people come alive. Every person carries a unique light inside them — sometimes it just takes the right support and guidance to help it shine.
Rather than being swept away by your thoughts and emotions, you'll learn how to pause, observe, and respond from a place of greater awareness and intention.
My approach
I integrate depth psychology, mindfulness, Eastern philosophies and concepts from quantum mechanics to help you explore your inner self more deeply. Together we look at the patterns beneath the surface — the motivations, fears and "shadow" parts that shape how you react — so you can build real inner stability.
Through counseling, coaching and tailored corporate trainings, I also help individuals and teams tap into the power of emotional intelligence — leading with empathy, increasing self-awareness, and building stronger relationships. All sessions are held securely online.
Credentials & certifications
Author & speaker
My writing on self-worth, purpose and personal growth has appeared in Entrepreneur and Brainz Magazine, and I've been a guest on podcasts discussing spirituality, self-love and the role of quantum mechanics in personal transformation. I've also presented at the Global Workplace Wellness Summit and offer workshops and trainings for organizations.
Before we begin
What happens in the first consultation?
It's a relaxed conversation about what's bringing you in and what you'd like to change. You'll get a feel for my approach and we'll decide together whether working together is a good fit — with no pressure.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes — all sessions are held online through secure, private video. As a Board Certified Telemental Health provider (BC-TMH), I make sure online sessions are safe, confidential and just as effective, wherever you are.
What's the difference between counseling and coaching?
Counseling focuses on emotional healing and mental health concerns like anxiety and overwhelm. Coaching is future-focused, helping you gain clarity, confidence and direction in your personal or professional life. Many clients benefit from a blend of both.
How long does counseling take?
Every person is different. Some clients come for a focused number of sessions; others choose longer-term, deeper work. We'll review your progress and goals together along the way.
