Jonas Batt, MA, LMHC
Jonas is a Certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher through the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care and Society. He is passionately committed to helping others learn, grow, and change through the simple power of paying attention in the present moment. Jonas has practiced and studied mindfulness and meditation since 1997, is a trained yoga instructor, holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Seattle University, and is a licensed mental health counselor in private practice with a specialty in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
Since 2011, Jonas has taught MBSR to veterans with PTSD at the Seattle/Puget Sound VA in support of research by Dr. David Kearney. In 2014, he began co-teaching for a multi-year study measuring the effects of Loving-Kindness Meditation (LKM) on PTSD. Jonas was previously a Clinical Supervisor and Case Manager with the Crisis Respite Program (CRP) at Seattle’s Downtown Emergency Services Center (DESC); the CRP is a King County-funded, 24-hour residential psychiatric crisis respite for severely and persistently mentally ill homeless adults.
Jonas’ teaching is strongly influenced by the Western Theravada/Vipassana tradition and the mindfulness teachings of Joseph Goldstein, Steve Armstrong and other leading teachers. Extensive silent retreat experience and the application of mindfulness in daily life are also foundational to his teaching.
