Therapy can be beneficial for many different people facing all sorts of challenges. Most of us understand that a licensed professional clinical counselor may treat conditions like post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, or bipolar disorder, but a therapist can offer more. This can include the support and tools to navigate parenting difficulties, shift negative feelings, build healthier relationships, manage stress, and strengthen self-awareness.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Eastvale, CA may offer more options than surrounding rural communities, but it can be challenging to find a therapist even in a city. One reason for this is that there is a high level of specialization within psychotherapy, with a number of evidence-based approaches. Solution focused therapy, narrative therapy, family therapy, CBT…what you want, or need may not necessarily be available nearby. If you’re looking for a professional clinical counselor who works with trauma, the registered associate marriage therapist that works near your office may not be a good match. This is where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to a variety of mental health professionals, from psychologists to family therapy associates, who specialize in a wide range of approaches and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your individual needs. And because a supportive environment and strong therapeutic alliance can be key to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
BetterHelp can also be a convenient solution for busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home

Nathan Ohren
Hello! I am a 50+ year old man who is licensed in California with 7 years of professional work experience. (Being a therapist was a lifelong goal but a career shift that I made in my mid-40's.) I have a broad range of experience working with couples, individuals, and groups. My expertise is in somatic psychotherapy, which includes nurturing the connection between mind and body. I also have tools, resources and experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, relationship issues, & intimacy related issues. I also have experience working with compassion fatigue. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I don’t like to assign homework between sessions, but I feel strongly that if you’re only “doing therapy” for one hour each week, then results will not be surprising. For that reason, I help my clients find ways to take the work of therapy into their day-to-day lives and make it part of their overall self-care routine. Personally, I prefer meeting my clients via video sessions, especially in the early stage of therapy when we are getting to know each other. However, I'm open to other forms of working together once we have established some protocol for communication. When I'm not working, I enjoy brisk walks at the beach near my home, and playing with my four-year-old canine companion. Please feel free to ask any questions that would help you to determine whether we could be a good match together.
