Jonathan Kabat

Jonathan Kabat is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with ten years of clinical experience. He holds a California LMFT license (license number 129217) and works with people facing trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, grief, intimacy and parenting concerns, anger and self-esteem struggles, career difficulties, depression, and the challenges of life transitions and compassion fatigue.

He approaches therapy from a systems perspective, exploring the many parts of a person’s life to help them recognize how experience shapes their responses and how their actions influence the world around them. Jonathan collaborates with clients to identify patterns that are no longer serving them and supports the development and practice of new strategies to pursue what their heart truly longs for.

Therapy with Jonathan is framed as a guided quest to discover how to become the most authentic and resilient version of oneself. He integrates multiple therapeutic traditions because, in his view, becoming whole often requires attending to the body, emotions, and thoughts together. He has training in somatic, emotional, and cognitive therapies and draws on transpersonal and systems approaches to illuminate causes and conditions in human experience.

Much of Jonathan’s work is informed by applied ecopsychology, eco-therapy, and climate psychology. He is particularly interested in supporting individuals who are reacting strongly to ecological and societal changes—including experiences described as eco-rage, eco-despair, and eco-anxiety that arise from deep empathy for the Earth. He aims to help people integrate those responses and move toward compassion, resilience, and purposeful action while assisting each person in finding greater clarity and personal direction.
