About Me

Portrait of Gail Poverman-Kave

Professional Background

I provide individual, family, and couple counseling to clients in a private practice setting, specializing in working with children, adolescents, and their families.

In my practice, I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques and interventions in order to achieve the highest level of symptom relief and resolution for my clients. I act as a liaison to schools, employers, medical practitioners, and parenting coordinators on behalf of my clients, and serve as a client advocate for community resources.

Additionally, I developed the curriculum for a Girl's Social Skills Group, facilitating groups for girls aged 12-14.
