Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt therapy is a holistic, creative therapy emphasizing health rather than pathology. We restore the individual to emotional health, raise awareness to present experience, explore the whole body-mind-(dis)connection and restore healthy interdependent functioning with the environment.

Gestalt Coaching

We assist you to create a value-based life that truly works for you, one that holds the potential to unleash energy and excitement, creating possibilities toward fulfilling your potential. You will learn necessary skills and have unwavering support in this process of becoming.

Gestalt Training

Taking Gestalt training will provide you with professional confidence, learn tools and nuanced applications of a holistic Gestalt theory, and create organic, lasting change in your client. Taught by Helga Matzko in small training groups to enhance in-depth learning and growth.
