Gestalt Professional and Life Skills Training Program
It has become increasingly clear over time, that what we offer at the Center is a training program that goes to the heart of change. Thirty years ago, the program attracted clinical workers and those in related fields. Soon, people in other fields such as sports therapy, business and administration joined. Further still, came the doctors and psychiatrists, homemakers and educators, writers and musicians. Today we have an eclectic mix of wonderful students who have come to know the program not only as a support for the work they do, but more importantly for their own personal growth, leading them to better relationships, increased productivity in the world, and most significantly, a better feeling about themselves.
Our new motto, Give Us 6 Months And We’ll Give You Change, is not said lightly. It is a promise we intend to keep and are capable of delivering because we hear every day about the tremendous growth of our students in all parts of their lives.
For professionals and non-professionals. For non-professionals, we emphasize the acquisition of life skills training. For professionals, we equip you with an array of skills that are applicable to clinical and administrative work in the human service professions. Whether for personal growth, professional development, or to launch a new career, students are challenged to use their creative, intuitive, intellectual and emotional capabilities to develop a personal style based on their own strengths and values. They find that Gestalt principles expand their skills for working with people, groups, and organizations, enrich their relationships with themselves and loved ones, and open new avenues of contact with their environment. Bottom-line…Gestalt Training changes lives.
Past classes have included administrators, business executives, CEOs, counselors, a financial consultant, lawyers, life coaches, massage therapists, nurses, physicians, psychologists, social workers, psychotherapists, sports coaches, teachers, writers and a high school principal. Do you fit in here?
They’ve created countless transitions. Many have healed relationships with themselves, their bodies, and significant others. Many have involved family members in new levels of intimate connections, and found partners to marry. Others have developed or built successful professional practices, gotten new jobs or promotions. All have taken Gestalt principles into their lives and created transformations towards healthier, more productive, and rewarding lives.
