About
Having worked in the field for over fifteen years, and having made it my second career, I find I have a knack for connecting with clients who are undergoing change and adapting to new challenges.
Hi, I'm Yo-at (YOE-aht) Silverman and I've been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) for nearly 20 years. I've been doing therapy since I finished my MA at New College of California in 2007, and I've been licensed since 2009.
Have you been experiencing a lot of worry, stress and anxiety lately? Has something significant changed in your life and you're just trying to make heads or tails of it all? Are you having issues staying on task or maintaining focus at work or at school? Are you trying to figure out how to get along with family, friends or coworkers? Have you and your partner been having issues communicating and trusting each other? Are you motivated to create change for your own growth and benefit? I can help.
My style is supportive, solution-focused, and coping skills centered. I'll listen without judgement or criticism and I'll give you concrete ideas and suggestions that are designed to help you in improving your quality of life, your relationships and your self-care (and no, I'm not talking about manicures or haircuts).
And if you need a vent session, I'm here for that, too.
I look forward to meeting you.

My experiences in life, both professional and personal, have helped me realize how difficult it is to get through struggles alone. As a Latina woman who grew up in poverty, I have an understanding of life's struggles and how they can shape us.
I am Maritza Gomez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals facing life’s most difficult challenges. I specialize in working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and suicide ideation, and I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate space where clients feel truly seen and supported. My goal is to walk alongside each person as they build resilience, restore balance, and find new ways to move forward with confidence and hope.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from San Jose State University. My approach is person-centered, solution-focused, and strength-based, allowing me to meet each client where they are with empathy and without judgment. I have worked extensively with youth, adults, families, and members of the LGBTQ community.
I believe every individual has unique strengths and can overcome life’s challenges. My role is to help you uncover those strengths, build courage, and create meaningful steps toward healing and growth. I am ready to support you on your journey and look forward to helping you reach your goals.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Fremont have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Fremont, CA offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
