Stephanie Kipperman, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I offer a supportive, action-oriented approach -- that includes CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), psychosocial, and self-help techniques -- to enable my clients to identify and break habits that aren't working, develop and improve meaningful relationships, and increase overall well-being.

I have two locations. One is in the inner Sunset area of San Francisco with street parking and close to MUNI. The other location is in the Westlake Shoping Center of Daly City with lots of parking and accessible access via elevator.
