Therapists in Stockton, CA

When we experience life challenges, there may be those times when we feel stuck, alone & don't know how to cope with it! It's understandable that when making the decision to seek professional help for our personal issues it may feel scary or like unfamiliar territory, but it can also be effective when an individual is open and ready to take that first step towards self-care! My name is Sonya C. Serna and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that provides individual, couples and family therapy.

I specialize in child and adolescent counseling with a focus on trauma treatment. I also provide treatment for teens and adults having experienced trauma. I provide parenting support, individual counseling, and family counseling. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client's individual needs to help attain the personal growth they're striving for.

Regardless of why you are struggling (stress, depression), I’m so glad you are reaching out for support. In my practice, I blend a warm, compassionate and respectful approach with solid science and practical experience. I work with trauma, dual diagnosis (mental health and addictions). I use a variety of modalities & orientations such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, and Trauma Focused Therapy (SFT). Therapy is a process of strengthening your connection to yourself while building new skills and awareness. Therapy should be customized based on your needs, learning style, cultural consideration, and goals.
