Eve Arbel, LMFT, MA

Life’s most transformative moments—fertility, birth, and spiritual shifts—can feel both sacred and overwhelming; I’m here to help you find your footing and turn that intensity into lasting integration. True healing isn't just thought; it's felt. I provide a grounded, somatic space to help you move through life’s biggest transitions by reconnecting with the wisdom of your nervous system. I support individuals and couples as they navigate the profound, often turbulent threshold of becoming—whether through the transition into parenthood or the integration of expanded states of consciousness. I also provide a dedicated, identity-affirming space for Jewish clients to process the somatic and psychological impact of increasing antisemitism. 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, playing with my daughters, and exercising. These practices keep me connected, inspired, and rooted in the values I bring to my work.
