Therapists in Stockton, CA

Hello, I am Tina Schab, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 22 years of experience helping individuals struggling with mental health and addiction problems. I have valuable experience with DBT skills training to treat individuals struggling with borderline personality disorder. My approach to therapy is client centered and focused on client self-efficacy. I also tend to focus on client strengths, values, and self-compassion.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed with work or life transitions and need support to manage the stress? Are you struggling with internal pain, grief and sadness due to a chronic illness or loss of a loved one? My goal is to create an environment that is supportive, safe, promotes self-growth and healing. I use certain therapeutic approaches to help meet your needs and goals for therapy. I also provide Advance Care Planning services and help to facilitate difficult conversations for patients and their family/caregiver.

My passion is in body psychotherapy. Clients enjoy our work connecting their body/inner strengths and their mind/rational strengths to achieve growth. My clients value the kindness, compassion, and safety I create, so they feel comfortable and heard. I have success working with clients that experience cancer, adoption, grief, stress, excessive worry, depression, conflict with others, life transitions, and parenting issues. Caregivers and family members of cancer patients find working with me helpful, healing, and nurturing. Clients that are not comfortable just talking really appreciate the tools I give them.

I see individuals and couples from all walks of life, and at different ages and stages of life. Many of my clients are dealing with symptoms associated with anxiety, panic, depression, grief and trauma. They may be experiencing disordered eating and/or body image disturbance. Clients are often seeking symptom relief and exploration of new coping strategies. We begin that process in our first session. I see teens (15-19) and adults.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years experience working with adults and adolescents. My way of working with others is eclectic and also grounded in both a cognitive behavioral approach and a biopsychosocial approach in working with people. I focus on the here and now and view the person in the context of the individual, their experiences, their interactions, as well as their psychological and physical health. I enjoy helping people with challenges or difficulties they may face and I consider it an honor to be entrusted with this help.

We are here to help and one of our six providers will likely be able to support your needs.

When we focus on developing a relationship first and feeling a sense of safety, it is much easier to navigate through the discomfort. So we will start there. I invite you to try Art Therapy in a way that will assist you in recognizing your strengths and provide you with a feeling of connection. If Art Therapy is not something you are interested in, we will engage in talk therapy so you may experience feeling seen and known. I often incorporate art, play, and movement when working with children and families. A typical client of mine is looking for guidance in emotional regulation and wants greater emotional awareness.

Are you ready to reclaim your power and rewrite your story? Then you're in the right place! As a LatinX therapist with over 14 years experience working with childhood trauma, I intimately understand the power of healing lifelong wounds. Maybe you've done ‘the work,' yet you still haven't gotten to the root of these hurts. This can make you feel self-critical, anxious and insecure. You're not alone. It's common to experience self-doubt or unworthiness, a legacy often passed down thru generations of trauma. But you're meant to shine without shame! And the journey home to yourSelf can be both deeply transformative and light-hearted.
