Benefits of Membership

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.

In a profession that can be isolating, I find having a sense of community with other professionals of the same perspective, is affirming and supportive.  The directory allows me to refer a part of a couple to a like-minded therapist.  Also, the referrals I have received over the years have more than paid for the cost of my membership.

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.

I find it exciting and refreshing being a part of our organization of like-minded therapists who value the vitality of the holistic and present centered approach of gestalt therapy.
