I’m Ehsan Shabahang, a licensed therapist in Cambridge specializing in couples therapy for high-achieving professionals, ambitious partners, and individuals who want meaningful, lasting change. I work with couples dealing with communication problems, frequent conflict, emotional disconnection, trust issues, resentment, intimacy concerns, premarital questions, and major life transitions. I also work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and patterns that affect connection.
My approach is warm, active, practical, and collaborative. I integrate Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic insight, and family systems work. In therapy, I help clients understand the patterns keeping them stuck, communicate more effectively, repair emotional wounds, and build healthier, more secure relationships.
I’m often a strong fit for clients who are thoughtful, high-functioning, and motivated, but who feel frustrated that success in work has not translated into success in love or emotional well-being. Many of the people I work with want therapy that is both emotionally deep and results-oriented. They are not looking for generic advice. They want insight, structure, and practical tools that create real change.
My goal is to help clients develop stronger relationships, greater emotional clarity, and a more grounded, fulfilling life.
My focus is on:
Couples therapy, marriage counseling, premarital counseling, relationship issues, communication problems, trust issues, intimacy concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, high-achieving professionals, Cambridge therapist, Gottman Method, EFT, CBT, DBT.
