Meet Parker Stateman, AMFT (#153801) — a warm, integrative therapist who supports individuals in reconnecting with themselves by exploring the past, grounding in the present, and opening to future possibilities. Her dynamic, relational approach is especially attuned to those who’ve felt like “outsiders” due to their identities, needs, or ways of being.
Parker draws from Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic, and Existential Therapy, while integrating practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT). She also offers Creative and Somatic Modalities—including Therapeutic Writing, Parts Work, Bibliotherapy, and Expressive Arts—for clients who process through imagination, movement, or nonverbal expression. Her work is identity-affirming and grounded in Narrative and Postmodern Therapy.
She specializes in Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy, working with late-diagnosed adults, neurodiverse couples, and parents of neurodivergent kids and teens. Common themes include Executive Dysfunction, Masking, Sensory Sensitivity, Giftedness, Burnout, and relationship challenges around Communication, Intimacy, and Social Anxiety.
Parker holds an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles and a B.A. from Loyola Marymount University. She trained at Antioch Community Therapy Services (ACTS) and began her clinical work as a Crisis Counselor at the Didi Hirsch Suicide Prevention Center, building a foundation in culturally-responsive, trauma-informed care.
