Henry Ahlstrom, PhD

Psychologist
CA
In an era of distractions and pressure, I help my clients reclaim their inner center. I have since 1995 actively refined how I see and work with people. I have learned to pick up on my clients’ struggles while also connecting with them.  All these years I have vigorously sought out a wealth of trainings that resonate with how I see I can best help. I am a certified Focusing Trainer, certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist, and certified in Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST). These modalities are my therapy base: They are efficient mindfulness of the body approaches that help me provide you with tools to bring out the wealth of knowledge that your mind-body holds. This allows for something new to develop from within you such that real and lasting change can occur. This supports a powerful release of tension from trauma and relational pain. I am also Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing trained, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational interviewing trained. I use these modalities to treat trauma as well as help you replace difficult thought patterns, emotion patterns, and behavior patterns with a growing inner sense of “I am ok. I can do this”. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Behavioral Health. For my availability, please see my calendar and book an appointment with me via ZocDoc.
