Post Level 3: Consultation and Final Video ReviewPost Level 3: Consultation and Final Video Review
Following the Level 3 Certification Practicum workshop, Senior Certified Gottman Therapists provide participants with a minimum of eight individual or twelve group phone consultations over a period of up to two years in order to guide them in applying the Gottman Method with their couples. There is ample opportunity to ask questions and receive input about all phases of working with couples, from assessment and treatment planning through selecting and implementing appropriate interventions selected specifically for clients’ unique needs. Consultants provide feedback on video tapes of therapy sessions and assist the therapist in becoming proficient in the core intervention skills necessary for certification.
- Consultants are assigned after the Level 3 workshop.
- Consultation usually takes place over the phone.
- A minimum of eight hours of individual consultation or twelve hours of group consultation is needed to complete certification requirements, but the Consultant may determine that more consultation is necessary in order for a Consultee to meet Certification requirements.
- The Consultant must review a minimum of three video segments.
- Fees for Consultation are additional and will be paid directly to your Consultant.
- There are no continuing education credits available for consultation.
Once the Consultant is satisfied with the Consultee’s work, the Consultee can submit videos of his or her work for Final Video Review. The videos must show the Consultee performing six specified assessments and interventions with couples from the Consultee’s practice. The videos will be reviewed by one or more Senior Certified Gottman Therapists. A Consultee can re-submit videos up to two times, if they do not pass all six videos on the first submission.
More information about the Consultation and Certification process will be provided during the Level 3 workshop.
