Dr. Daniel Olavarría, LCSW earned his MSW from the University of Pennsylvania and Doctor of Social Work from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville where his research focused on intergenerational and historical trauma. As a relationally-focused clinician with expertise in trauma treatment, he has previously worked in family preservation services, with justice-involved communities, and in HIV coordinated care. He also currently volunteers as a group consultation facilitator with A Home Within, a national nonprofit offering free therapy to individuals with lived experience in foster care. Additionally, Dr. Olavarría and his husband adopted their son from the foster care system – his unique experience as someone whose mother and son both spent time in foster care informs his perspective and interest in supporting this community. In private practice since 2018, Dr. Olavarría has expanded The City Psychotherapy New York into a multi-state group practice. He brings a reflective and culturally-informed lens to therapy, colleague consultation, and teaching that encourages clinical curiosity, integration of research as part of an evidence-based practice process, and relational safety to allow for clinical growth and exploration.
