Susan Gair, LCSW

Clinical Supervisor

​

Susan Gair, LCSW, supervises psychotherapists in group and individually in the four-year analytic program and in the two-year psychotherapy program at The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (“ICP”). She also facilitates a group In the PCGS program of ICP, which she helped develop and which serves the LGBTQ+ community. 

​

In her private practice, she works with individuals, couples, and groups. She works in a relational and collaborative style. She encourages the psychotherapist to focus on self-reflection in their patients as well as themselves. In so doing, she is attempting work to focus on patterns of behavior and thought, tone, and body language, which all impact their relationships.

​

In addition to her extensive work, she has written two articles that attend to these issues:
"The False Self, Shame, and the Challenge of Self Cohesion," Chapter in Lesbians and Psychoanalysis.  Ed.Suzanne Iasenza and Judith Glassgold, 1995

 

"It Takes a Community," Chapter in Lesbianism Feminism and Psychoanalysis. The Second Wave. Published simultaneously in the Journal of Lesbian Studies. Vol. 8, number 1/2 2004. Harrington Park Press.
