Consultation is provided in individual or group sessions conducted by Gail Guttman, LCSW, with the primary focus being couples and sex therapy. As a consultant to couples therapists for more than 30 years, Gail draws on a variety of relationship theories.
Gail consults with therapists who are trained in Imago Relationship therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the works of John Gottman and Stan Tatkin. Therapists who receive consultation from Gail experience a welcoming approach to all types of theories, as well as an opportunity to integrate different theoretical frameworks.
