About Ken Stamper

Ken Stamper, LMFT

My therapeutic style is approachable, warm, curious, and, when necessary, challenging. I draw from my training in the lineage of Gestalt Therapy, working in the 'here and now' to find out how we can create growth and change. I also use ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when appropriate to help develop awareness and tools for effective change. We will work collaboratively to see how you can learn to respond to your environment with greater freedom and choice, where you can see possibilities and turn them into actualities. I'm here to support you in becoming your best self.

I have particular interest in working with adults recovering from the impact of emotionally unavailable parenting due to a depressed, anxious, narcissistic, alcoholic, or otherwise preoccupied parent. I also enjoy working with adolescents, couples, families, and adults who are struggling with anxiety and depression of any kind, screen use, bullying, video games, and substance use.

I have extensive experience working individually with adults and couples at the Church Street Integral Counseling Center in San Francisco, as well as adolescents and families at Paradigm San Francisco, a residential treatment center for teens. Please contact me for a consultation on how I can help you or your family.
