Getting to know Tania Benacerraf

Hi, my name is Tania Benacerraf, and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California for 25 years. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Temple University. I use a strength-based communication approach that focuses on evoking your motivation for growth and change. My areas of practice include depression, adjustment to life stressors, anxiety, substance use, and trauma-related symptoms. My approach I approach all of my work from a Motivational Interviewing background-I am a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT). My work is also informed by CBT, DBT, Family Systems, and Person-Centered therapy approaches. My focus I have worked with children, families, and couples. For over 20 years, I have addressed families impacted by violence both inside and outside the home, as well as trauma related to early childhood experiences of abuse, neglect, and loss of country of origin. I am comfortable addressing the impact of systemic oppression based on race, culture, socioeconomic status, and gender/sexuality differences. I am also interested in and comfortable addressing changes related to aging and life transitions. My communication style I have outstanding listening skills and focus greatly on ensuring that my clients feel heard and understood. I am empathic and compassionate, using a gentle guiding approach that helps evoke the strength and resources within my clients to move toward growth and change. My journey to therapy I believe in the healing power of connection and that all human beings yearn to love and be loved, to belong, to have purpose, to feel connected, to be capable, and to have power over their own destiny. I have made it my life's work to acknowledge and normalize these needs in others and to partner with them on their journey to obtain them.
