As a Communications Counselor and Mediator, I enjoy successfully guiding clients to a deeper understanding of their lives, helping focus their planning for new levels of success and personal satisfaction. Each person is unique, as are their challenges and discoveries on the path to personal growth and well-being.
My work is to facilitate harmony among couples, parents and children, business associates, neighbors and friends. I also consult one-on-one with individuals who are longing for compassionate support for their life situations and to reconcile seemingly contradictory values and directions. These sessions are largely inspired and guided by the relational skills of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) developed by Marshall Rosenberg, (www.cnvc.org).

Services
In supportive individual counseling sessions, I provide the opportunity for you to reach self-acceptance, insight and hope. Concerns and confusion transform into clarity and resolution. I base my counseling practice on the understanding that within every person's destiny is a path of growth which can be found, even when seemingly insurmountable challenges present themselves.
Please contact me for information about Santa Monica and Pasadena venues and all other questions. The practice groups and workshops focus on the exploration of the principles and methods of "Nonviolent Communication", also known as "Compassionate Communication".

In many instances people find themselves in conflict with others. This may happen in the workplace, the home, in schools, places of worship, or between neighbors and friends. Mediation, or Conflict Resolution, helps resolve conflict effectively. Each person feels heard and is able to offer preferences and suggestions for settling a dispute.
Would you like your organization or team to function as a harmonious group, where coworkers hear one another with interest and respectful trust? Would you like to experience enhanced productivity due to each person's enthusiasm for his or her tasks and goals? All of this and more occurs when empathetic conversation skills enable individuals to work together with creative and cooperative rapport.
My life has changed extensively due to the work and support of Gail McManus's expertise, care and guidance. I can, with absolute certainty say, it is because of our work together I am able to have a loving partnership. I am learning how to connect more intimately in friendships and with my child. I have more trust in myself and it reflects in my interactions with others as well as my ability to move forward with my life in positive ways.
