Tania Guimaraes

The language you process your emotions in matters — and finding a therapist who meets you there can change everything. I'm a trilingual LCSW fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, and the challenges of living authentically across all identities.

My clinical foundation is psychoanalytic and psychodynamic — which means I'm interested not just in what's happening now, but in the deeper patterns and relational histories that shape it. I trained at Hunter College School of Social Work and bring both intellectual rigor and genuine warmth to every session.

Sessions are available in English, Portuguese, or Spanish — whichever feels most like home.

My approach draws from psychoanalysis, psychodynamic therapy, and CBT — three frameworks that, together, give me both the depth to understand what's underneath your patterns and the practical tools to shift them.

Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic work helps us understand how your past relationships, experiences, and unconscious patterns show up in your present — in your relationships, your mood, and your sense of self. CBT gives us concrete strategies for changing the thought patterns and behaviors that aren't serving you.

I work with adults and couples, and I'm affirming of all identities and orientations. The goal of our work is a more fulfilled life — one where your conflicts and traumas no longer have the same hold on you.

The first session is about getting to know each other — your story, what's brought you here, and what you're hoping changes. I'll listen carefully and ask questions to understand your full picture.

There's no pressure to share everything at once. We'll find a starting point together, and from there, build a direction that feels right for where you are and where you want to go.

Sessions are available in English, Portuguese, or Spanish.
