02 · In Tania's own words

What Tania says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is grounded in helping you build self-love, improve communication, and find clarity around life purpose and direction.

I specialize in addressing isolation, social anxiety, guilt, shame, and the lasting effects of trauma. I'm also skilled in supporting clients through panic disorder, posttraumatic stress, divorce, body image struggles, forgiveness work, and control issues. Whether you're facing a specific life transition or working through deeper patterns, I'm here to help you move toward healing and wholeness.

I'm fluent in English and Portuguese, which allows me to serve a broader community with cultural sensitivity and understanding.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to build the tools and insights you need for meaningful change. I'm honored to support you on your journey toward greater peace, connection, and self-compassion. Looking forward to talk with you.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Tania practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Tania's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Tania at this point.

2. Naming Tania specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Tania is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Tania.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

4 questions worth asking Tania

Built from what Tania actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Tania's - Tania has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “With 20 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

• “You offer sessions in English and Portuguese. Does the work change depending on which we use?”

  People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Tania's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 6 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Tania. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
