Many graduates of The Training Program have, after completing their studies, gone on to their own private practices as Gestalt Therapists. Others have chosen to integrate their learning into already established professions. Some are leading workshops in locations around Ontario.
Graduates of the Four-Year Training Program, from 1994 to present, are listed below. Therapists determine fees for sessions or workshops and operate separately from the Gestalt Institute of Toronto.
When you contact a therapist, please be sure to provide him/her with your full name and telephone number and indicate whether or not it’s acceptable to leave a message at that number.
