Appalachian Gestalt Therapy Institute "The Appalachian Gestalt Therapy Institute is committed to providing training to persons in the field of Gestalt psychotherapy."

Gestalt therapy is an humanistic/experiential form of psychotherapy that emphasizes personal responsibility., awareness and potential. Gestalt therapy places great emphasis upon the individual's experience in the present moment, the therapist-client relationship, the environmental and social contexts of a person's life, and the self-regulating adjustments people make as a result of their overall e

xperience of life. Gestalt Therapy addresses personal growth and development as well as patterns of difficulty and unease.

Greetings Everyone especially those impacted by Helene,

The Appalachian Gestalt Therapy Institute would like to share our sincerest condolences if you have lost loved ones. Each one of you is in our hearts and thoughts during this time of unthinkable loss. Many have experienced the terror of the storm, loss of homes and possessions, income, connection and other things too numerous to count. We are thinking of you and searching for ways to reach out and support you as best we can. We will affirm that you are strong, even if you do not feel it, and we will get through this together.

Everyone associated with the AGTI education and administration is fine. We appreciate those of you who are outside of our area thinking of us and checking in to inquire about our well-being.

We hope you will continue to be well and safe. We will be back in touch.

Warmly,
All from AGTI
