About Me

Hi, I’m Tarynn Dier. I’m a licensed therapist, coach, and consultant based in New York City — but I work with clients all over the world.
My clients are smart, self-aware, and often the ones other people rely on. They're founders, creatives, caregivers, organizers, doers. Many are queer. Some are polyamorous or in open relationships. Most are exhausted. Almost all are holding things no one sees — perfectionism, emotional paralysis, shame, self-doubt, loneliness, or a kind of numbness they can’t quite name.
They come to me because they’re not interested in surface-level fixes. They want to understand themselves. They want tools. They want change. And they want someone who can *actually hold the complexity* of their life.

My Approach:
I’m not a blank slate therapist. I’m warm, curious, collaborative, and direct when it matters.
Our work might include:
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• Somatic work
• Psychodynamic therapy
• Cognitive work & coaching

Why I Do This Work:
Like a lot of therapists, I got into this field because I needed this kind of support myself.
I’ve lived through reinventions — in identity, relationships, career, and motherhood.
This work isn’t just a job for me. It’s a way of life. It’s an act of service, creativity, and truth-telling.

What I Believe:
• There’s no one right way to live, love, or heal.
• Insight doesn’t always equal change.
• Therapy should feel human, not clinical.
• You deserve a space where you don’t have to translate yourself.

Credentials:
• Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), NY

• Featured in Men’s Health, Women’s Health, and LGBTQIA+ media
