David Stanton, LMFT
Welcome to my page at KAP Wellness! My name is David Stanton, and I am excited to be part of the great team of dedicated professionals at KAP Wellness! As I share a bit about myself, I would like to encourage you to stay curious about what your life would be like if you were free from trauma and the associated anxiety, depression, and maladaptive coping behaviors that lead you to the same old, unwanted results!

Like many others, my “bottom” came after many years of teen alcohol and drug abuse. My initiation into the world of health and healing came at age 21 with an inpatient 30-day recovery program. After a year of sober living with supportive therapy and 12-step participation, I set an intention to educate myself and bring healing to others. I completed a BA in Psychology and then a Masters in Counseling. Along this journey, I worked with children, teens, and adults in many settings, including group homes, foster care, detox programs, and psychiatric facilities. In 2004, I completed my licensure here in California as a Marriage Family Therapist and have since focused my clinical practice in the area of problematic sexual behavior and related partner trauma (affairs).

Across all these experiences, I have seen time and time again the impact of trauma and the prison it often creates for both young and old. The great news is that today, we benefit from an amazing explosion of technological advancements in understanding how acute and developmental trauma impacts our quality of life (or lack thereof). These advancements have allowed me to gain both personal and professional experience (training) in two life-changing modalities—Brainspotting and KAP!

Brainspotting and KAP have been game-changers in my personal life! I enjoy a fantastic level of calm and serenity with a grand reduction in physical ailments related to long-standing chronic fatigue and GI dysregulation.

If you want to know more about how KAP has helped me or how I can assist you in your healing journey, just let me know. Consultations are always free!
