Tessa “Tess” Gittleman, MA, LMFT, is a Relational Therapist, Public Speaker, and System’s Coach currently working at her private practice, Talk Tutor, PLLC, in Golden Valley, MN. Tess’ background is eclectic, working in Advertising, Food Media, and with incarcerated populations before a chronic health diagnosis forced a pivot. Tess realized what she really loved was connecting to people in meaningful ways, and decided to become the one thing she said she never would: a therapist.  After pivoting to mental health, Tess worked across residential and school-based settings, providing services to people across a variety of backgrounds, from queer to conservative, seven to seventy five, individuals and groups. She specializes in helping people who are “acutely aware of the problem” but feel helpless to change it despite outward success. These people often identify as perfectionistic, anxious, and/or with Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder. Her approach can best be described as collaborative, transparent, and humorous, borrowing from Existential, Narrative, and Internal Family System’s approaches.   In addition to her clinical and coaching work, Tess is the Treasurer of the Minnesota Association of Marriage and Family, and is currently working towards being an AAMFT Approved Supervisor under the supervision of Dr. Alex Iantaffi, LMFT, and Shawn Neel, LMFT. As a supervisor, Tess specializes in providing clinical support to clinicians who struggle with chronic illness, or are struggling with clients who can’t be “out-smarted.” Eric Fawcett, M.A., is a postgraduate, pre-licensure Marriage &amp; Family Therapist. Eric specializes in assisting clients to bridge seemingly irreconcilable parts of themselves, and bridge what feel like irreconcilable differences with others. Before pursuing his MFT degree, Fawcett spent three decades as a recording artist, as a creative entrepreneur partnering with major corporations, and as a published writer and speaker addressing the relational joys and challenges of the collaborative process. Fawcett has long believed that the training MFTs receive prepares them to work with people-systems far beyond couples and families. In his private practice, Eric works not only with individuals and families, but also with organizations seeking to increase trust and cohesion among its members. Eric is thrilled to be partnering with Tess Gittleman in the creation of Attunement Architects, a practice committed to improving the relational health of organizations of all kinds, from businesses to spiritual communities to universities.Links From the Episode:Tess's Website: www.TalkTutor.org Tess's email: Tess@TalkTutor.orgMore about Eric at his private practice website: www.attunerelational.comContact Eric at eric@attunerelational.comJoin the Twin Cities Wellness Collective™: https://www.tcwellnesscollective.com/
