Gestalt Therapists
Gestalt therapy is about meeting you where you are at. This type of therapy does not work to change behaviours or symptoms that are undesirable. The intention is to be heard, felt, and understood. Gestalt is a safe and effective way for both therapist and client to grow through the therapy session.
