Cameron Stamm’s Stammtisch Therapy Approach
Cameron Stamm holds a dual approach to therapy based on her training in Family Systems, Pediatric Therapy, Education, Community Health, Research and active role in Social Justice Movements. Below is move information about her multifaceted approach to her work.
“Regular” ideas
I believe that both the client and clinician bring something to the table. Stammtisch is a concept of making sure that there is always space in community. In my therapy approach I aim to welcome and empower all clients who gather to feel they are invited to take part in their goals in and outside of treatment.
Empowered clients
I focus on staying true to my values and Stammtisch and making space for thoughtful, lasting work. Not only do I hold true to the idea of our “roots” of Stamm with our core values, we also take on a collaborative approach towards working with clients to create a “regulars table” of Stammtisch in our individual, couples, family, and group settings.
Longterm Growth
Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values of Stammtisch and making space for care, compassion, thoughtful, lasting work and client growth.
On Being an LMFT
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and long-time advocate for community, I am passionate about what I do. My mission is to provide clients with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to navigate identity and relationship challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and families to build communication skills, address conflict dynamics, explore identity, and manage life’s stressors. Together, we explore your story, strengths, and values while developing practical tools, routines, and insights for meaningful growth. I also always work to help clients, like sunflowers look towards the sun and find motivation, joy and empowement in their therapeutic goals!
On Being a Counselor
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my scope of practice is rooted in a wellness, developmental, and empowerment model of mental health.
I hold both individual strategies and goals that are center on somatics, mindfulness and solution focused approaches, as well as relational approach of the Family Systems Theory, and third wave frameworks of Feminist Theory and Liberation Psychology.
As a Play Therapist
My background working with children, adolescents and families spans over for over twenty years. My scope of practice has given a broad scope of experience of working with children and their families from birth through young adulthood. My experience varied widely from working in educational, research, pediatric therapy, community settings, intensive hospital group settings of IOP and PHP and home based therapy care. With this experience, I have learned multiple approaches to help integrate fun and play into practice. I truly believe therapy skills and goals can be fun!
On Community: My Approach to Connection and Collaboration
My approach is community centered and collaborative. I enjoy connecting clients to their community through relational work. I also aim to create a Stammtisch through the groups offered. Lastly, I am always open to collaborating with others that are part of a team. Whether that be bringing in resources for a client, speaking with colleagues in and outside my field, collaborating with caregivers and bringing in strategies and connection as part of the therapeutic work. Most of all, I enjoy sharing space with clients in our work together.
My Education and Professional Background
I hold a Masters in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, with a Concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a Minor in Social Work.
I am licensed in the state of Illinois to practice as an LMFT and also am pursuing a dual license as an LCPC.
I am trained in trauma focused approaches, strategies for neur-affirming work and play therapy.
