Dr. Kenneth S Pound

“I can help. Whether you're a professional, an artist, or a stay-at-home parent - whether your challenge is situational, chronic, or acute - my pragmatic therapeutic approach addresses confidence, productivity, and satisfaction. Trained at: Columbia University Medical Center, Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (currently a candidate/analyst-in-training); The Wright Institute, Berkeley (M.A. & Psy.D.); St. Mary's Hospital, San Francisco (Internship); UCSF Medical Center, Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute (Externship); California College of the Arts, College Counseling Center (Post-doctoral Fellowship).

I specialize in: Couples; Career concerns; Foreigners living abroad; Sexuality (including LGBT issues); Adolescent treatment; Parenting issues; Depression and Anxiety; and, Life Transitions. I also have particular expertise working with performing and creative artists, as well as professionals.

My emphasis in treatment is to find out who you uniquely are, and to help you become aware of unconscious factors which may block you in moving forward with your goals. I have experience working with a wide range of symptoms and diagnostic issues. My work is psychoanalytically informed but pragmatic.”
