Getting to know Tina Paxton

My name is Tina Paxton, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I earned my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento. I have been providing therapy for the last 12 years in the State of California. I offer Problem-Solving Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, divorce/separation, child custody/co-parenting, life transitions, perinatal/postpartum depression, new parents, parenting issues, ADHD, and work-related challenges. My approach is strength-based, specializing in CBT, DBT, IPT, and PST. I work with patients ranging from teens to those in retirement age. I treat anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, parenting/co-parenting, adoption, divorce, domestic violence, work issues, and life transitions. I believe the therapeutic alliance is essential and provide a team-based, client-centered approach throughout the therapy process. My goal is to make clients feel involved in and comfortable with therapy from start to finish. My journey in mental healthcare spans 21 years as a social worker, with the last 12 years focused on therapy. I transitioned from case management to therapy after realizing that care management often involves providing ?therapy.? I sought formal training to help clients more directly and one-on-one, which I find to be a rewarding use of my social work background. I enjoy witnessing clients' growth over time and helping them piece together their experiences to see the bigger picture. My goals for you are collaboratively set during the intake process and are client-created. In our first session, I focus on assessment and rapport building to establish a strong foundation for therapy.
