GTILA stands with our immigrant communities in LA
Los Angeles is built on the strength, resilience, and brilliance of immigrants. We will not be silent as ICE continues to target and terrorize our communities, families, friends, and neighbors.
- No human is illegal
- ICE has no place in our communities
- We demand safety, dignity, and freedom for all
We uplift the voices of our undocumented, refugee, and displaced community members, and we fight alongside you for justice and liberation.
Who We are
Gestalt Therapy Institute of Los Angeles (GTILA)
GTILA is a vibrant and dynamic membership organization dedicated to advancing Gestalt Therapy, practice, and accessibility. We foster the exchange of ideas and expertise among our members, the professional clinical field, and the global Gestalt Therapy community aiming also to refine and expand the application of Gestalt principles in contemporary therapeutic contexts. Through scholarships to the two prestigious Los Angeles Gestalt Therapy training institutes, affordable educational events, and an online directory of member therapists, we create opportunities for theoretical growth, practical skill development, and community building. Our mission embraces diverse perspectives within the field, encouraging the exploration of new thought and applications which we believe is inherent in our theoretical foundation.

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.
