Scholarships

GTILA maintains the Arnold R. Beisser, M.D. Scholarship Fund, a philanthropic program to support trainees who have enrolled for gestalt therapy training and can demonstrate financial need. We also offer the Jan Ruckert Scholarship to encourage the training of therapists who are members of the community’s historically underserved racial and ethnic minorities.

Benefits of Membership

Five Stars

“I use the Find a Therapist information for nearly every referral I make these days. I know from experience that the therapists are top-notch, and I like the ease of using the insurance, location and specialty information.”

“GTILA has been a great way for me to stay connected to the gestalt community, participate in opportunities to learn, deepen relationships with colleagues, and meet new ones, as well. From the salons to membership directory, which is a wonderful source for referrals, groups or consultation, GTILA provides a valuable service in supporting the work of gestalt therapists.”
