ABOUT US – Gestalt Madison

Gestalt Madison’s Approach

Gestalt Madison’s approach to therapy is rooted in Gestalt and Psychodynamic theory. We utilize an insight-oriented and emotion-focused approach to help you develop better self-awareness and understanding of how you feel, think, relate, and be. Together, we will explore your existing relationships and the therapeutic relationship, your belief and attitude systems, career difficulties, and whatever else may have brought you in for treatment – there is nothing off-limits. While therapy is not a quick or easy fix, we will work hard together to help you live a more free and full life through an enlivened, present-oriented psychotherapeutic experience – one that is focused on liberation and growth.

Beginning psychotherapy with Gestalt Madison will allow you to insert spaces for reflection where they have not previously existed. This, in turn, may create opportunities to better know yourself more fully, connect with others on a deeper level, and live a more congruent life according to your values and desires. Together, we will work to slow things down so that you can see and understand your patterns of relating that otherwise happen quickly and unconsciously without reflection or awareness.

It is normal to find ourselves in difficult situations because of the immense challenge to slow down and reflect in everyday life. In the space for reflection that Gestalt Madison will provide you, we will work to identify the freedom of choice you have – freedom from repeating the same painful, self-defeating patterns, freedom to do things differently, and the freedom to become a better version of yourself – that otherwise wouldn’t be recognizable without the proper time and space for pause.
