Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, others, or your emotions? Gestalt Therapy offers a powerful, present-focused approach to help you increase self-awareness, take ownership of your experiences, and live a more authentic, fulfilling life. At Summit Counseling Center, our therapists use Gestalt techniques to support personal growth, emotional clarity, and meaningful change.
What Is Gestalt Therapy?
Gestalt Therapy is a humanistic, experiential approach that emphasizes the here and now. Instead of focusing only on the past, it helps you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and body sensations in the present moment. It encourages personal responsibility, self-acceptance, and integration of all parts of yourself.
