Teach a graduate level course in Gestalt Therapy. Primary language of practice: English Health/Insurance Plan Participation: Yes Areas of Specialization: I have worked extensively with trauma and abuse survivors, and offer individual and group therapy, and marital and family counseling. Training in Gestalt Practice: Never attended an Institute; my early experience (1970's) of Institute trained folks in workshops I attended was -- they were technicians and not flowing from their heart. Fritz said, Barry Stevens was a natural born therapist. Related Training and Experience: Trained with Mel Foulds and James Guinan in Ohio from 1970-1971; had gestalt training experiences throughout the past 35 years with Gestalt therapists in Ohio, Georgia, Florida, and Pennsylvania. In 1973 I wrote my doctoral dissertation on Gestalt therapy. Gestalt and body-centered workshops attended at American Academy of Psychotherapists conferences in 1986 and since 1997. Statement: Too often, counseling or psychotherapy focuses on reducing symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or stress, rather than identifying and resolving life experiences which led to these signs of personal distress. The counseling process involves learning skills which promote emotional health such as aware- ness of your feelings and needs, communicating effectively, having fulfilling relationships, and making healthy life choices. In addition, I recognize - - the importance of connecting with you, rather than only relating to a diagnosis and your symptoms - the significance of identifying and releasing unexpressed feelings, allowing resolution of unfinished business and a change in unhealthy life themes - how medication can mask feelings, and a diagnosis can limit personal potential - the value of sharing our own past struggles and triumphs, and joining with you in your life journey - the importance of our own on-going personal growth and professional development.
