You may appear successful while feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected. Together, we take time to explore your thoughts, feelings, and relationships—including patterns that may be difficult to recognize or understand on your own. Through this process, we work toward a fuller understanding of yourself and the possibility of meaningful change.
Some patterns are difficult to change on your own. You might find yourself returning to familiar struggles in relationships, living with anxiety, or feeling distant from the life you want—even when things seem to be going well.
My approach is psychodynamic and relational. Together, we explore how your experiences and relationships shape the present, paying attention to both longstanding patterns and what unfolds between us in therapy. The work is collaborative, compassionate, and attentive to your individual experience.
We take time to understand your experience, including feelings that are difficult to express and patterns that recur in your life. The work involves curiosity, honest reflection, and attention to what develops between us in therapy.
We explore recurring conflicts and the feelings, expectations, and histories each person brings to the relationship. Together, we work to understand how you affect one another and what makes it difficult to speak openly or feel understood.
Therapy for co-founders focuses on communication and the relationship at the center of building and running a company together. We take time to understand how you relate to one another, what happens when communication becomes difficult, and the patterns that contribute to conflict or distance. Together, we explore trust, expectations, and difficult feelings, with attention to how each person’s experiences shape the relationship.
I offer individual and group supervision for early- and mid-career therapists in private practice and agency settings, including psychologists, social workers, mental health counselors, and marriage and family therapists.
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and relational thinking, with openness to integrating other perspectives and models. I work with clinicians from a range of therapeutic orientations who want to deepen their clinical understanding and bring psychodynamic thinking into their practice.
You can bring specific cases where you feel stuck, as well as broader questions affecting your work. These might include boundaries, the therapeutic frame, conflicts relating to fees, countertransference, and other clinical concerns.
I am warm and supportive, offer direct feedback, and challenge clinicians when helpful. Our work is conversational and collaborative. In groups, I guide the discussion while making room for everyone’s perspective and the opportunity to learn from one another.
Please contact me to discuss individual or group supervision, availability, and fees.
Inquire about supervision
I’m Dan Tarplin, LCSW. I offer individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, co-founder therapy, and clinical supervision in Manhattan and via telehealth.
I approach this work with warmth and curiosity, and take seriously the trust involved in speaking about your life. I listen closely, ask questions, and offer observations as we explore your experience together. My psychodynamic and relational approach considers both the relationships that have shaped you and what happens between us in the course of therapy.
I am an out-of-network provider. Supervision fees and availability are by inquiry.
Regular appointments are offered at both Manhattan offices and via telehealth.
To inquire about individual therapy, couples therapy, co-founder therapy, or clinical supervision, please reach out by email or phone.
I’ll respond within 24 hours, usually sooner. Together, we’ll find a time for a 15–20 minute consultation to talk about what brings you here, answer your questions, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
