For therapists seeking depth
If you’re a therapist looking for a supervisor who takes the work seriously (your clients, your clinical development, and your own experience of being a therapist), you’re in the right place.
Middle Way offers clinical supervision for LMSWs working toward an LCSW, LMHCs and LCATs under limited permits, and fully licensed clinicians seeking peer consultation. We work with masters-level students completing field placements as well.
Ten months into practice or ten years in, supervision here is meant to be reflective, practical, and human.
The supervisor
Founder & clinical director, Middle Way Psychotherapy
Tara Rullo has been a practicing clinician for more than two decades and has been supervising therapists (fully licensed, limited-permit, and masters-level students) for over fifteen years. Her clinical work spans trauma, couples therapy (including Gottman Method), EMDR, and somatic-focused care; her supervision draws from all of it.
Before founding Middle Way, Tara led clinical teams and developed training programs in community-based mental health. That institutional experience shows up in supervision as a deep familiarity with the regulatory, ethical, and systemic pressures therapists face, and a steady commitment to making supervision a space for real reflection rather than reporting up.
A few lines in Tara’s voice about why she supervises, and what she brings to the chair, will live here. — placeholder for Tara’s rewrite.
The approach
We believe supervision should be a space where you can:
Supervision at Middle Way is reflective and depth-oriented. We hold a high clinical standard without turning supervision into a performance. You should leave sessions clearer about your cases and more grounded in your own practice.
Weekly or biweekly one-to-one sessions with Tara. This is the primary format for therapists accumulating hours toward licensure, as well as for licensed clinicians who want ongoing consultation.
Offered when there is availability and alignment — particularly for somatic-oriented clinicians. Group work can complement individual supervision or serve as a standalone consultation container. Reach out to ask about current openings or waitlist.
What we’ll work on
Supervision often starts with a case you’re stuck on. It rarely stays there. The best sessions move between the specific (what’s happening with this particular client, right now) and the general (what this case is asking you to grow into as a clinician).
Common ground we cover: trauma-informed practice, EMDR and somatic work, couples dynamics and Gottman-informed interventions, ethical and regulatory questions, pacing and ruptures, countertransference, scope-of-practice and referrals, and building your own therapeutic voice.
Send a note through our contact form. Tell us a little about where you are in your career and what you’re looking for in supervision.
Tara will schedule a short call to talk through your credential, your caseload, your goals, and whether it’s a good fit on both sides.
If we proceed, we’ll set a regular cadence (most supervisees meet weekly or biweekly) and start the work.
Middle Way supervision is suitable for the following paths. Specific hour requirements vary by credential and license board — we’ll walk through what your path looks like in our first conversation.
| Credential | What supervision supports | Format |
|---|---|---|
| LMSW → LCSW | Clinical supervision toward the hours required for advanced licensure. Can be the primary supervision of record or a supplemental supervisor. | Individual; weekly or biweekly. |
| LMHC | Clinical supervision for Licensed Mental Health Counselors working under a limited permit or seeking ongoing consultation. | Individual; weekly or biweekly. |
| LCAT | Clinical supervision for Licensed Creative Arts Therapists, including those integrating somatic or trauma-focused work. | Individual; weekly or biweekly. |
| Masters-level students | Field placement and practicum supervision for students in MSW, LMHC, and related clinical programs. | Individual or group, per program requirements. |
| Licensed clinicians | Ongoing peer consultation for fully licensed clinicians who want a reflective clinical home outside their own practice. | Individual; cadence set with supervisee. |
Requirements for any given license are set by the relevant New York State board. We’ll confirm specifics together before beginning supervision.
Tara has experience across trauma, couples work (including Gottman), EMDR, and somatic-focused care. We welcome supervisees from many approaches and backgrounds.
Yes. We offer supervision for LMSWs, LCATs, LMHCs, and others working toward licensure. We’re happy to discuss specific requirements with you in our first conversation.
Yes, when there’s availability and alignment — particularly with somatic interventions. Let us know your interest and we can share current openings or waitlist options.
Most supervisees meet weekly or biweekly for 50–60 minutes. Fees are discussed during the initial consult and depend on format (individual vs. group), cadence, and scope. Please reach out for current rates.
We supervise therapists practicing in New York, either in-person at our Brooklyn Heights office or via secure telehealth across New York State. For clinicians practicing outside New York, please reach out so we can talk about what would be appropriate in your state.
Supervision works best when there’s mutual clarity about goals, clinical orientation, and cadence. The first conversation is low-stakes and honest on both sides: we’ll talk through what you’re looking for and whether Middle Way is the right place for it. If not, we’ll often be able to point you in another direction.
Let’s support your growth as a therapist — with care and depth.
We welcome therapists of all backgrounds and actively support BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodiverse clinicians working with the unique layers of their professional experience.
