We are the original Gestalt therapy institute, established by Fritz and Laura Perls in 1952. As we were then, so are we now a membership organization which is a teaching/learning community where we explore ever-evolving Gestalt therapy theory as experiencable in and expressed through practice. Anyone with an interest in Gestalt therapy is welcome to attend our meetings and programs.
Our meetings usually take place on the second Wednesday of the month at 8:30PM, though this year there will be two weekend meetings. Please see the full schedule by clicking "SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS" to your left.
In addition to monthly meetings, we are planning several special events this year. We hope you will join us for any of these which draws your interest. For more information, please contact us.
We welcome you.
