Dr. Jennifer Guttman received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Long Island University. She began her career working at a family homeless shelter in New York. When she found that traditional protocols made it difficult for people to access her services, she fought to ensure that every resident could meet with her as often as they needed, eagerly working day and night to fulfill requests for services. Motivated by a desire to reach even more people, she started lecturing and opened a private practice. Her approach fuses traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques with her own core methods, which have been developed and refined through thirty-plus years of personal interaction with her clients. The combination of these innovative methods and her unparalleled empathic abilities has enabled her to have a profound impact on thousands of patients from diverse walks of life.
