Eve Arbel, LMFT, MA

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California, offering somatic, integrative, and experiential therapy for individuals and couples navigating major life transitions and emotional challenges. I hold a Master's degree in Somatic Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University in the Bay Area, where I trained in body-based therapy, mindfulness, and integrative approaches to healing. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Practice of Art from UC Berkeley, a foundation that continues to inform my work with creativity, intuition, and expressive process. Before opening my private practice, I spent several years working in community mental health-- supporting children, teens, adults, and families in schools, field-based programs, and clinical office settings. That experience shaped my deep respect for resilience, nervous system diversity, and the many ways people adapt and survive in challenging environments. I created my private practice to offer care that is holistic, evidence-driven, non-pathologizing, and consent-based, with enough time and spaciousness for deeper experiential work. As a mother of two young children, I understand firsthand the tenderness, complexity, and transformation that comes with parenting. This personal lens enriches the grounded, compassionate presence I bring to my clinical work. Outside the therapy room, I love gardening, cooking with fresh ingredients from the farmers market, making art, and filling my home with music. These practices keep me connected, inspired, and rooted in the values I bring to my work.
