Gestalt therapy

Gestalt Therapy changed my life, and my client’s lives too! I highly recommend seeing a Gestalt therapist. In order to be certified I had to both study it and go through it intensively for three years. My therapist is a Gestaltist now, and she was one of my teachers. I’ve done all kinds of therapy, but Gestalt empowered me, taught me how to have healthy relationships, and taught me how to be my own best friend. What questions do you have about Gestalt?
