About Me

A behavioral health therapist with City of Hope Atlanta, Diane Schaab, MS, LPC began her career working as a teacher. However, her strong desire to help others led her to volunteer her time at City of Hope Chicago. Having lost a family member to cancer, Schaab felt a strong connection to working with the patients and caregivers there.

"I wanted to provide these patients the support that my mother unfortunately didn’t receive when she went through treatment at another facility," says Schaab, who felt very at home and fulfilled while volunteering. As soon as she saw the opportunity to move to Georgia to work with City of Hope on a full-time basis at our Atlanta hospital, Schaab jumped at the chance.

Schaab earned a MSEd in school counseling from Northern Illinois University, and a bachelor’s degree in secondary education from University of Wisconsin, Madison. Prior to joining City of Hope, she worked as a math teacher and as an agency counselor, where she proved individual and group counseling for adult and adolescent victims of domestic violence.

At City of Hope Atlanta, Schaab leads individual and group counseling sessions, run support groups, and conduct relaxation and guided imagery sessions.

"Our focus is on the emotional impact cancer has on a patient and their loved ones," says Schaab of her role as a behavioral health therapist. "Emotions have a strong influence on the healing process and the immune system, and that’s why we’re here to help."

Joining Schaab in Atlanta is her husband, son and daughter. In her free time, Schaab enjoys being active, whether it’s hiking, biking, swimming or any other activity that allow her to spend time outdoors.

Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.
