My Story
Sabina Tah, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specialized in working with children, teens, families, but also offers psychotherapy services to adults. Through a client-centered, strength-based and trauma-informed approach to psychotherapy, Sabina provides compassionate care, honoring individual experiences across race, culture, and identity.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am deeply committed to helping people navigate the complexities of life. I earned my my Master's degree in Social Work at San Jose State University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. My clinical experience includes work in community mental health, psychiatry, and medical settings where I have supported individuals and families navigating complex emotional and life challenges.
In my practice, I believe that each person’s story and experiences deserve to be heard and honored. My philosophy is rooted in creating a safe and inclusive space where people from all backgrounds regardless of race, culture, gender, or spirituality can feel seen and understood. I understand that seeking help can feel vulnerable, but I believe that real growth happens when we are willing to lean into that discomfort together.
I work with a wide range of individuals, particularly those experiencing depression and anxiety as a result of current life stressors or past traumatic experiences. My passion lies in helping individuals reconnect with their strength and resilience while navigating life’s many challenges.
I am especially passionate about supporting first-generation individuals and those navigating cultural expectations, identity, and family dynamics while trying to prioritize their own well-being.
My approach to therapy draws from several evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, expressive play and art-based approaches, and Family Systems perspectives. I tailor each session to the individual, recognizing that no two journeys are the same. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and continue to deepen my work with this approach as part of my ongoing professional development. In our work together, we will not only focus on symptom relief, but also explore the deeper patterns, experiences, and beliefs that shape how you move through the world.
Through warmth, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s journey, I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel supported as they work toward healing, clarity, and meaningful change.
