Greetings. I am a gestalt practitioner in Central PA. One of the differences between gestalt and other forms of counseling is we lay emphasis on the biological components of human functioning. In addition to traditional counseling we have workshops that approach your health from a variety of angles. You can think of your nervous system as a polarity: one side of the coin being the exertion side (often called 'fight or flight' or 'sympathetic') and the other side of the coin is your relaxation side (often called 'feed and breed' or 'parasympathetic'). It is important to address both sides.
We have three 'public' workshops and one 'barrier to entry' workshop:
- Gestalt/Psych involves awareness tracking and awareness manipulation in order to explore and create experiences.
- Strength teaches you barbell progressive overload and functional technique for safety.
- Yin teaches you breathing, positioning, softening, letting go, carving out a peaceful center.
The barrier to entry workshop is called 'Mechanics of Development' and it's necessary to complete other services first to qualify.
Our workshops are coordinated via group emails. To get started, simply email/call/text or click here to send us a message.
Our private counseling hours are scheduled through Acuity.
MJ handles our back-office processes, insurances, claims, etc. She can also help you schedule if you don't want to use Acuity.
