Description
WELCOME TO THE GESTALT CENTER FOR PSYCHOTHERAPY AND TRAINING, located in the historic Flatiron District of New York City. We offer post-graduate training, extensive workshops and weekend intensives for mental health professionals, as well as therapy referrals to Gestalt therapists. WHAT IS GESTALT THERAPY? Gestalt therapy is an holistic therapy that focuses on the total person, recognizing the unity of the mind, body, emotions, and spirit. In the 1940's, Frederick (Fritz) Perls, a trained psychoanalyst, developed the Gestalt theory and method in response to his dissatisfaction with the analytic, mind-focused therapy of the first half of the twentieth Century. Gestalt therapy integrates Gestalt and humanistic psychology, existentialism, and Eastern teachings. Gestalt is a creative, gentle and patient therapy which focuses on awareness in the present moment. Through skillful use of a variety of experiential methods, our therapy helps us to free energy locked into old, dysfunctional behavior patterns so that we can undo them and reorganize ourselves in a way that allows us to live more fully and effectively, centered in ourselves, yet able to reach out and take in what the world has to offer.
