Tania Goldszmidt

associate Marriage and Family Therapist

As a bilingual (Spanish-English) therapist in Santa Clara County, I work with children, adolescents, families, individual adults, and couples. My therapeutic practice is based on a person-centered psychodynamic approach where I employ strengths-based, trauma-informed, motivational interviewing, and family systems evidence-based frameworks. My primary focus is to provide clients with a safe, non-judgmental, and culturally attuned space to explore and process. My aim is to help you achieve personal goals that will make life more fulfilled and find ways to adjust to demands and stressors.

I am an experienced child play therapist and trained in PCIT. I support clients with ADHD with all kinds of goals: school and work performance, organizational and communication skills, relationship problems, and career counseling. Additionally, I can assist with trauma, grief processing, depression, anxiety, and partner conflict resolution.

I truly believe all of us can benefit from therapy at some point. I am here to help provide support, work through challenging decisions, process difficult events, or just assist you to become a stronger you. Whatever your goals, I will guide you through discovering what it means to be the truest you and learn to overcome what may be holding you back.

Ofrezco consultas en español incluyendo terapia para niños y familias, tratando dificultades asociadas con la ansiedad, el estrés, la depresión, problemas de conducta o conflictos relacionales.
