Rooted in Clarity: The Quiet Power Behind Dr. Alice Preetha’s Work

Dr. Alice Preetha is an award-winning therapist, executive leadership coach, author, and emotional wellness expert, currently based in Noida and originally from Bengaluru, India. With a PhD in Human Resource Management and Organizational Psychology, she brings a rare blend of clinical insight, lived experience, and soul-centered leadership into everything she does—from trauma recovery to boardroom recalibration.

Her journey began with a deep commitment to service on the ground. In 2001, she was part of the earthquake relief efforts in Bhuj, offering psychosocial support during one of India’s most traumatic disasters.

Later, she served as a counselor in Dharavi, Mumbai—one of Asia’s largest slum communities—providing mental health support to individuals with little to no access to care. These early chapters shaped her lifelong dedication to accessibility, empathy, and dignity in mental health care.

Through her flagship platform, Gumption Mind, Dr. Alice offers integrative therapy and executive coaching to individuals, couples, and changemakers across the globe. Her work weaves together Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and emotional intelligence to help clients heal, realign, and rise into their full potential.

In 2025, she launched StillRoot Collective, a soulful initiative that supports those navigating purpose-led lives with tools for inner clarity, emotional resilience, and authentic connection. It is a growing community where strength is quiet, and growth is rooted.

She currently serves as the National President of the WICCI National Psychological Wellbeing Council, leading a powerful network of professionals committed to giving back through mental health advocacy, education, and national campaigns. Under her leadership, the council is shifting the narrative around emotional well-being—making it inclusive, actionable, and deeply human.

Dr. Alice is also an author and poet, known for her emotionally resonant writing. Her book, Unlocking Love and Happiness: 7 Mindset Ways to Better Relationships, has touched countless lives by exploring the emotional patterns and inner work required to build conscious, connected relationships.

Her achievements and global presence have earned her multiple prestigious recognitions:

In a moment that marked her growing international influence, Dr. Alice Preetha was featured on a digital billboard in Times Square, New York, representing Indian thought leadership on a global stage. It symbolized not just recognition, but a message—that quiet, intentional work rooted in healing and humanity does have a place on the world’s biggest platforms.

“My work isn’t about fixing people,” she says.
“It’s about helping them come home to who they already are.”

Whether she’s holding space for trauma recovery, guiding global leaders, writing emotionally insightful books, or representing Indian excellence on international platforms, Dr. Alice continues to lead with grounded presence, empathy, and a vision that blends strength with stillness
