About Aakanksha
Aakanksha Punj is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with six years of clinical experience. She brings a direct and warm style to sessions and aims to create a supportive space where people can make steady progress. Her background as a former Division I athlete and an immigrant shapes how she understands pressure, performance, and major life changes.
She commonly works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and career concerns. People who feel overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode often seek her help. She also addresses related issues such as attachment struggles, adoption and foster care concerns, and problems with impulse control.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that maintain distress, processing difficult experiences, and building practical emotional regulation skills. She adapts evidence-based therapeutic techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
In therapy with her, clients can expect to work on reconnecting with themselves and creating habits that support longer-term change. She emphasizes skills that help people manage intense moments and reduce ongoing overwhelm. The goal is to move beyond symptom management toward more grounded, sustainable wellbeing.
She practices in Colorado and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients who want to begin should confirm the available session formats before booking.
