Insights for Long-Term Change
Online Psychotherapy in California for Individuals and Couples
You deserve someone who truly understands.
Does any of this sound familiar..?
“I feel like I should be getting more out of life.”
“My partner doesn’t seem happy in our relationship. Maybe I’m not happy with it either. What do I do about it?”
“Work is stressful and unfulfilling. Should I do something else? Or am I just burned out?“
“I'm not sure what I'm feeling. Am I depressed? Is this anxiety? What do I do about it? I feel stuck.”
“Sometimes I just want to check out. Sometimes I get angry. I just want to be happier.”
From the outside looking in, your life seems fine. Other people would even say you're successful. But it doesn't feel that way, not completely anyway. You want more out of life.
You are not alone. And it doesn't have to be this way.
Hi, I'm Matt Ahrens and I can help.
My mission is to guide professionals, like you, on a journey of self-discovery, insight and inner transformation.
We'll take a strategic, solution-oriented approach to bridging the gap between where you are now and where you want to be, charting a course that aligns with your values and deepest desires.
Along the way, we'll get to the root of your challenges and work to address them.
Clients walk away from our therapy sessions feeling more in control of their lives; they have more clarity, more self-understanding, and more self-acceptance. Their relationships improve. They make progress in their careers. But most of all, they feel unstuck. More alive. More free.

Therapy adds clarity. Here’s how we’ll work together.
STEP 1
Schedule a free 20-minute consultation with me. I'll answer any questions you have to help you be sure we're a good fit.
STEP 2
Meet weekly or biweekly in a safe, accepting space where you can be yourself. We'll explore your goals, values, and desires. We'll discover what works for you, where you get stuck, connect a few dots, and help you make lasting change.
STEP 3
Seeing results! You'll start feeling greater agency in your life and relationships. You'll find relief from some painful past experiences. You'll feel more yourself, more authentic, more confident
STEP 4
Continued support. After working through your toughest challenges and finding relief, you, like many of my clients, may appreciate the on-going support of therapy. We might shift from weekly to bi-weekly or monthly sessions. You might want to check in every 6 to 12 months or come back after a long hiatus for a few "tune-up" sessions or to resume regular sessions. As the support you need changes, we’ll figure out a way to make that happen
STEP 5
Completion! Therapy is often and important transformational process. At some point, even the best of journeys comes to an end. When it is our time for that final step in our work together, we'll give it the recognition it deserves.
