Jonathan Kabat, LMFT

Jonathan Kabat approaches therapy as a careful exploration of the questions and longings that shape a person’s inner life. He attends to the feelings, images, sensations and dreams that often point to unmet needs, and he helps people notice the repeating patterns and strategies that have failed to bring lasting change. By working from a systems perspective, he maps the many influences of experience and highlights how a person affects, and is affected by, the world around them.

Therapy with Jonathan is framed as a guided quest - a collaborative process in which clients and therapist examine challenges, navigate moments that may feel catastrophic, and practice new ways of responding that better align with what the heart seeks. He integrates somatic, emotional and cognitive methods so that movement, feeling and thought are all addressed rather than treated in isolation.

Jonathan has studied transpersonal and systems approaches and draws on applied ecopsychology, eco-therapy and climate psychology to support people who are grappling with strong emotional reactions to ecological and societal change. He works with individuals experiencing eco-rage, eco-despair and eco-anxiety that arise from deep care for the Earth, and he supports the development of resilience, compassion and purposeful action in response to those feelings.

His practice emphasizes integration - bringing together multiple perspectives and techniques to reveal a greater sense of wholeness. He collaborates with clients to identify practical steps, supports their practice of new approaches, and assists in clarifying values and purpose. Jonathan holds the credential LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) - CA LMFT 129217.
