This entry level program was established in 1975 to teach the Gestalt approach to mental health. It is based on the belief that a person most completely learns by being part of an experiential process. Our students learn Gestalt “from the inside out.” We offer a Certificate of Completion after 200 hours of training consisting of 140 workshop hours, 30 theory class hours, 30 hours of weekly group participation, the satisfactory completion of 5 book reports and 15 hours of community volunteer mental health service.
To graduate, a 12 page written thesis is to be presented verbally to a staff member and fellow students. Students have two years to complete the 200 hours required and we invite you to attend as your schedule permits. Our once a month weekend workshops and theory classes are taught by our staff members, fellow graduates and also guest faculty members from other institutes in the US and Europe. The year round program is open to everyone. No college degrees or prior knowledge of Gestalt are required to attend in whole or part. You may attend one or two events, or as many as you want during the year, without participation in the certificate training program. However, if you choose to enroll in the 200 hour training program, you may do so at any time during the year by requesting a registration form from our office. There is a $25 registration fee and we will keep track of your attendance hours for training credits. Join us!
