Tiffany Goldberg, LMSW

About Tiffany
Tiffany Goldberg is a Columbia-trained social worker whose clinical work is shaped, above all, by the quality of the therapeutic relationship she builds. Couples who work with Tiffany describe a consistent experience: feeling genuinely seen and heard, often for the first time in a therapy context. That felt sense of safety isn’t background to the work. Without it, the deeper clinical interventions don’t take hold.
Her ADHD couples work holds both partners fully, validating the non-ADHD partner’s exhaustion and grief while simultaneously holding space for the ADHD partner’s shame and genuine effort. She’s particularly skilled at helping couples navigate the emotional complexity of ADHD relationships without pathologizing the ADHD or minimizing its real impact on the person who doesn’t have it. Both experiences belong in the room.
Her individual work with adults navigating ADHD gives particular attention to women with ADHD, a population that is systematically underdiagnosed, often misread as anxious or disorganized, and tends to come to therapy carrying years of self-blame for struggles that had a neurological explanation all along. The identity rebuilding that follows a late diagnosis is its own clinical territory, and Tiffany works in that space with care.
Areas of Focus
ADHD Couples Therapy
Couples work that holds both partners equally, addressing ADHD dynamics, communication breakdown, emotional safety, and the rebuilding of trust after years of conflict and disconnection.
Women with ADHD
Individual therapy for women navigating ADHD, including late diagnosis, the ways ADHD presents differently in women, and the often-substantial work of understanding what the diagnosis means for a life already lived without it.
Support for the Non-ADHD Partner
Individual therapy for partners in ADHD relationships, processing caretaker fatigue, grief, resentment, and the complicated experience of loving someone whose brain works so differently from yours.
Trauma-Informed ADHD Work
Many adults with ADHD carry significant relational trauma from their undiagnosed years, years of being labeled lazy, irresponsible, or difficult. Tiffany integrates trauma-informed approaches with ADHD-specific work to address both layers.
Emotional Regulation
Building genuine capacity for emotional regulation, for individuals and couples, using strength-based, practical approaches adapted for the ADHD nervous system’s faster, more intense emotional cycling.
Relationship Transitions
Supporting couples and individuals through significant relationship transitions, including new partnerships, major life changes, and the integration of a new ADHD understanding into an existing relationship’s history.
