Jonathan Eric
Labman
Twenty-five years of psychotherapy and meditation teaching, brought to bear in one room — for those whose practice has opened something that will not yet rest.
Many people who find me have already done significant work on themselves. They have meditated, attended retreats, read the books, practiced yoga, tried mindfulness apps. Something has opened — and now something is stuck. The thoughts will not quiet. Old trauma keeps surfacing. The peace they touched in retreat will not stabilize in daily life. They sense there is more, but they cannot get there alone.
This is the work I do. I have spent 25 years as a licensed psychotherapist and 23 years teaching meditation and spiritual awakening, and I bring both lenses to every session. My approach is psychodynamic (looking at how your history shapes your present), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (learning to question the truth of your thoughts), and somatic and energetic (because the body holds what the mind cannot speak). When clients want it, we also work explicitly with the non-dual perspective: who you are beneath the thoughts, beneath the personality, beneath the stories you have inherited.
I am certified in trauma treatment by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk’s Trauma Center and Dr. Bruce Perry’s Neurosequential Model, and I draw on energy healing, yoga, and decades of spiritual study including time with Adyashanti and the Waking Down community.
I work the way I do because I have walked these paths myself. I ask ‘what happened to you?’ rather than ‘what is wrong with you?’ I assign work between sessions because insight without practice does not change a life. I work with people for as long as they need, and I will tell you honestly if I am not the right fit. Sessions are 55 minutes. I see five clients a day so each gets my full attention.

In their own words.
Jonathan is a joyful gift to the world — a humble, authentic expression of love. He taught me how to love and accept myself, and how to gently release expectations of myself, others, and situations. He helped me to free untrue thoughts and old conditioning. The most valuable lesson I learned was the concept of presence, and how to bring it into my daily life. He is open to new information and perspectives, as he is truly a lifelong learner. I am now a meditation teacher, and I always credit Jonathan as the one who opened the door for me, showing me the path towards my true Self.

I worked with Jonathan for a couple of months and had a very unique therapeutic experience with him. Not only is he intuitive and kind but he sets one up on the path to enlightenment and peace. I just felt so comfortable with him, knowing he was not judging, just listening, helping and guiding. I learnt so much from my sessions. I learnt to trust my intuition, understand my fears, challenge my thoughts and be mindful and present. Jonathan is an enlightened man. It was a pleasure working with him.

One take-away of working with Jonathan has been a greater ability to return to the present moment. Future events are uncertain, filled with promise of both danger and reward. While those promises are only ideas in the present, the distraction or pain they cause is quite real, sometimes stronger than the events themselves. My focus, or attention, still shifts frequently to the future and the past but my ability to recognize this shift and return to the present moment have improved through practice. This has allowed for better decision making and overall enhanced well-being.

My work with Jonathan began at a transitional, unsettling and challenging time. He has an uncanny ability to gently guide me away from the often unsettling, fearful, and untrue stories in my mind to a more constant, peaceful and loving place deeper within. His approach led to a very quick and effective entry to a new chapter in my life, and I continue to enjoy working with him.

I met a transpersonal-based psychotherapist named Jonathan, a man that has forever changed my life. I can truly say Jonathan is different; I can see it in his eyes, I can feel his aura radiating truth and authenticity, and I intuitively know that he is a vessel in which Brahman flows through. He has taught me much about our true nature as consciousness itself, non-dualism, the illusory nature of “I”, the ego and its common patterns, mindfulness, and the importance of a meditation practice.

You have really made an amazing impact on my life and introduced me to a way of thinking, or rather, being aware of things I never knew. You’ve changed my life Jonathan, truly. Thank you for doing this for as many people as you do, you truly have a great gift.
