Celebrating Dr. Special Walker Gauthier
words from her supervisor Denise Kazan

It is with such joy and pride that I celebrate Dr. Speshál Walker Gauthier on becoming a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT) for Couples! 🎉👏🏽

Having had the privilege of supervising and working alongside Dr. Gauthier, I have had a front-row seat to her growth, dedication, compassion, and genuine commitment to the people she serves. I have watched her continue to develop not only as a clinician, but also as a thoughtful and compassionate professional who brings authenticity and purpose to her work.

And words from EFT Trainer Dr. Paul Guillory
“It was a delight reviewing all your EFT certification materials. I was also impressed with your
active participation in the EFT externship and core skills trainings that I taught.
The case formulation with the couple backgrounds, cycles, and emotional challenges was well
organized and written. Your stage two tape that I reviewed, clearly demonstrates your knowledge
and skills on the EFT tango and each partners ability to access and respond to their old cycle and
their ability to reflect on their deep attachment vulnerabilities and longing. You have natural
clinical warmth and attunement to their emotional vulnerabilities and attachment dance.”
