Our faculty are passionate about community. What better way to learn about Gestalt Therapy Theory than to have folks who teach it and practice it all day, every day, come to you?
Whether it’s a private therapy practice, a law firm, or a community based organization, our faculty can come to you to present multiple aspects of Gestalt Therapy Theory, and how it can be applied to create a greater sense of connection, leadership, community and self knowledge. By offering experiential learning opportunities, our trainers can help your employees have a greater sense of presence, awareness about what they bring to their jobs — such as where they might want to expand and show up differently at work — and what is needed to enhance communication and a sense of trust.
Classroom Lectures: We teach graduate and undergraduate courses as guest lecturers. Frequently requested topics include Gestalt Therapy Theory for Psychologists and Social Workers and Ethical Dilemmas in Clinical or Legal Practice. Recently, our online availability has made it possible to offer assistance in distance learning environments.
