Navigate Challenges With Confidence

  • Transform Your Relationships & Strengthen Your Bond

    Relationships can feel stuck, even when both partners care deeply. Using Gottman Method Therapy, we’ll break communication blocks, repair trust, and restore emotional closeness.

    You’ll learn practical tools to navigate conflict, deepen understanding, and build a shared plan for lasting growth, step by step.

  • Measured-Based Care for Your Journey & Needs

    Evidence-based therapy tailored to your goals and the challenges you’re facing, individually or as a couple. We’ll focus on practical strategies to support balance, coping, and healing across emotional, behavioral, relational, or sexual concerns.

    Through you progress, we adjust our plan and stay aligned with your growth and well-being.

  • Master Resilience While Navigating Challenges

    Growth isn’t about perfection, it’s about learning to respond differently when life gets hard. Together, we’ll build self-awareness, strengthen resilience, and reconnect you with what matters most.

    With small, consistent shifts in habits, mindset, and coping skills, you can create change that holds up over time.

  • Navigate Challenges With Confidence

    When life feels overwhelming or uncertain, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll clarify what’s happening, identify the patterns keeping you stuck, and build practical skills you can use right away. With a steady, supportive approach, you can make decisions with more confidence, stay grounded under stress, and keep moving toward what matters most.

Meet Your Therapist - Ehsan A Shabahang

I’m Ehsan, a psychotherapist based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I founded my practice AtReef Therapy with a simple goal: to create a supportive sanctuary for emotional well-being while helping you thrive and move toward the life you want.

My work blends modern, evidence-informed therapy with practical, real-world strategies you can use right away such as Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and works of Jungian therapy (analytical psychology). I’m also an author and the creator of Self-Reflective Relationship Therapy (SRRT), a research-based approach designed to help couples rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and support lasting personal and relational growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • For individual therapy, I accept most major commercial insurance plans, depending on my availability for insurance-based slots. If I’m out-of-network for your plan, you can pay out-of-pocket and may seek reimbursement from your insurer if your plan allows.

    For couples therapy, I do not bill insurance directly. Many plans don’t cover couples work because it focuses on the relationship rather than an individual’s diagnosed condition.

  • I understand that I may not be the ideal choice for everyone looking for therapy. At my center, I prioritize finding the perfect process to cater to your specific requirements, and that's why I provide a complimentary 15-minute consultation to understand your individual needs and objectives.

    If I am not the right match for you, I am more than glad to refer you to other qualified clinicians outside my facility.

    To schedule your consultation, please visit my booking page. To learn more about the various problems I can assist with.

  • All sessions are private and confidential, with the exception that you are a danger to yourself or others, or if there's any sign of child or elder abuse.

    As your therapist, I will send you my confidentiality agreement to sign before your session.

  • Therapy is personalized to each person, depending on your concerns and goals.

    It is not uncommon for therapy to last weeks or months in order to develop meaningful change. As your therapist, I will craft and discuss a personalized treatment for you.

    It is common for individuals to continue attending therapy even after their initial concern has been addressed, as they find it to be a beneficial space for personal exploration and development.

  • I have partnered with Mentaya to help my clients save money on therapy without the hassle of dealing with insurance companies. If you qualify, Mentaya will handle your out-of-network claims and ensure insurance reimbursement. They charge a 5% processing fee per claim and have helped clients receive thousands of dollars back in reimbursements.

    You may also submit your reimbursement request directly to your insurance company using the superbill provided.

    For more information on this, please reach out to your insurance company.
