Hello, I'm Ehsan Ssabahang. Are you navigating the challenges of stress or relationships? Can't shake off that anxiety? Maybe you're also rethinking your career or your relationship with yourself. It's okay; you've found a space where you can explore solutions. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my background is as varied as my approach. Having worked in non-profits, group settings, and even with students nationwide, I get that life can, at times, throw curveballs. My Military background taught me a lot about life and resilience. I blend Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman method, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga, and art to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether it's your career, relationships with loved ones, or the most important relationship—the one with yourself—I can support you. I offer you a safe space filled with compassion, free from judgment. I'll provide you with actionable insights and practical tools, drawing from scientifically grounded methods. Let's embark on this journey of growth and self-discovery together.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where your comfort and well-being are the top priorities. We'll start by discussing what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. This initial conversation helps me understand your unique challenges and goals, whether they relate to relationships, career, stress, or emotional issues like anxiety and depression. I'll introduce you to the therapeutic methods I use, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method, and explain how they can be tailored to your specific needs. We'll also go over the structure of future sessions and any initial recommendations I may have. By the end of the first session, you'll have a clearer understanding of the therapeutic process and how it can support your journey to emotional resilience. You'll also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have, ensuring that you feel confident and comfortable moving forward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my standout strengths lies in navigating the complex terrain of relationships, be it with a partner, family, or perhaps most critically, with oneself. Having served in the Army and worked in diverse settings like non-profit organizations and educational institutions, I bring a multi-faceted understanding of human resilience and struggle. This diverse background allows me to approach relationship issues with a unique blend of empathy, practicality, and insight. Another area where I excel is in helping clients manage stress and anxiety. Whether it's workplace tension, relationship strain, or self-inflicted stress, my toolkit is robust. Drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I offer specific techniques to help you understand the cognitive patterns that fuel your anxiety and equip you with coping mechanisms to relieve stress. My approach is always customized to you, underpinned by my core belief in collaborative care. Together, we'll find the strategies that work best for you and evolve our approach as you grow and change.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method makes me particularly effective for clients seeking evidence-based treatments. If you're ready to make a meaningful change in your life and are open to introspective work, I am here to guide and support you on your journey to emotional resilience.
