Individual Therapy for Adults
Providing compassionate and knowledgeable individual therapy to adults of all ages across 42+ States

In my adult practice, I see adults of all ages for a variety of psychological difficulties including anxiety-related presentations, depressive presentations, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief and loss, disordered eating, body image concerns, social media addiction and many other difficulties within the human experience. In my work as a psychologist, I respect each individual’s unique ways of adapting and coping and  I collaboratively work to help my patients find more satisfying ways of dealing and managing the wide spectrum of emotions and challenges experienced.

I recognize that individual psychotherapy is both a science and an art. I synthesize scientific knowledge and evidence-based methods with experiential wisdom and genuine compassion. My own self-awareness, coupled with my empathic presence, allows me to deeply connect with my patients, empowering them to live the lives they truly desire.

Treatment duration, frequency and modality are tailored to your needs.

In the realm of psychodynamic-relational psychotherapy, my realness and empathic presence as a doctor provides fertile ground for trust and openness. I establish a holding environment—a safe space— where my patients can explore, discover, and transform their inner landscapes and inner narratives as well as their way of being in the world. As they project their core relational themes onto the therapeutic relationship, I attune to their emotional, cognitive and somatic cues. I listen not only what is spoken but also to the unspoken, understanding the nuances that shape their subjectivity. By thoughtfully sharing my observations and interpretations, and providing evidence-based clinical interventions, I facilitate my patients’ understanding of their inner worlds. This process is akin to a “vicarious introspection.”

From this base of trust, we embark on a very human exploration. A central aim is to reveal the connecting threads between your concerns and their relational origins. This process promotes insight, self-acceptance, and liberation from self-limitation. The shared journey becomes a transformative force in healing, growth and, emergence.

Surprising as it may sound, your emotional distress is meaningful. It contains patterns and clues that allow you to better know yourself and overcome obstacles to your goals. As a caring and dedicated psychologist, I will help you to pinpoint these patterns and decipher these messages. Our therapeutic work will offer you the opportunity to make new discoveries about issues that have long puzzled you. Whether you are seeking greater well-being, I welcome you to contact me. Together we can turn your distress into a solvable problem.

I provide comprehensive treatment interventions for the following presentations we often describe using words such as:

Depression, regardless of its specific type, has many potential roots and sources which include but are limited to: childhood events, trauma, grief, loss, complicated bereavement ,physiological and genetic causes (thyroid, family disposition), potential medication side-effects and environmental factors. As a result, a comprehensive and thorough examination of the events and experiences that proceed presenting concerns is essential.

Depression also can range from long-standing dissatisfaction to debilitating despair and varies it how it presents- It can be experienced as feelings of hopelessness, isolation and withdrawal, loss of interest in activities one previously enjoyed, changes in sleep and eating and thoughts of suicide. Some individuals may compensate by keeping themselves excessively busy, being in denial, and others turn to substances such as alcohol and other drugs which leads to the development of addiction. Depression is all encompassing–affecting thoughts, emotions, behaviors and even the physical body (heart rate, blood pressure, metabolism).

Dr. Tania’s Treatment Approach

I have a strong foundation in various theoretical modalities. I am psychodynamically trained which means that I look at patterns, emotional expression, defenses and relationship with self and others, family history, developmental concerns.
I help individuals obtain relief from immediate debilitating symptoms while understanding the underlying reasons for the struggles experienced. Psychodynamic therapists look through a lens that illuminates the biological, psychological, social, cultural , and spiritual factors that influence the person. The symptoms that brought you to seek treatment (whether it be depression, anxiety, attention problems, personality concerns, grief, trauma, relationship conflict, perfectionism, etc) must be understood in the context as a whole. Afterall, humans are influenced by childhood experiences, external familial, social and cultural experiences, and every being possesses a unique composite of cognitive skills, emotional experiences, conscious and unconscious conflicts, dreams, wishes, hopes, and fears which may be contributing to their current struggles.

I am also trained extensively in cognitive-behavioral approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Mindfulness-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (MB-CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I approach mental health from holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and (sometimes) spiritual facets.

Dr. Tania’s Therapeutic Style

You are not just a set of symptoms- You are a unique and complex individual, with a rich history of unique experiences and perspectives. I am an active therapist and work hard to help you understand yourself better and address your concerns. I believe in treating the whole person, and in doing so, addressing the presenting issue(s).  In today’s current political, social and critical health climate, the external world often influences our  internal world, and I help look at how the two are intertwined.
