Ken Benau, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist since 1990, with a private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area. His practice includes individual (adult and child), couple, and family therapy; clinical consultation; and professional training.

For over 40 years, Dr. Benau has worked with children and adults with various learning and developmental differences in inpatient, outpatient, and school settings. He continues to enjoy working psychotherapeutically with adults living with various learning and developmental differences, including LD, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Dr. Benau has a particular interest and expertise in shame and pride-informed psychotherapy with survivors of relational trauma, working from an integrative perspective that incorporates psychodynamic, experiential, and somatic approaches, among others.
