Gestalt Therapy

Don't Let Your Thoughts Control Your Life

Gestalt therapy is a form of talk therapy that helps you become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the present moment. Instead of digging through the past or analyzing everything logically, Gestalt focuses on what’s happening right now—so you can better understand your patterns and make empowered choices.

WHAT WE OFFER FOR YOU

At Cornerstone Wellness Center, Gestalt therapy supports you in noticing how you show up in relationships, how you avoid discomfort, and how you can reconnect with your most authentic self.

Why Gestalt Therapy Is Used

Many people go through life feeling disconnected—either from their emotions, their relationships, or even their own body.

Gestalt therapy helps bring that disconnect into awareness, so you can move forward with clarity, responsibility, and peace.

Gestalt therapy is helpful for:

Anxiety, depression, or emotional numbness
Difficulty expressing feelings

Low self-esteem or shame
Unresolved grief or guilt
Relationship struggles or communication issues
People who feel stuck or fragmented inside

If you’ve ever felt like you’re living “half a life,” Gestalt therapy can help you reclaim the rest of it.

The Goal of Gestalt Therapy

The goal of Gestalt therapy is to help you:

Notice what you’re feeling as it happens

Accept all parts of yourself—without judgment
Learn how to take healthy responsibility for your emotions and choices
Stop replaying old patterns and start engaging with the present

Rather than fixing the past, this therapy helps you integrate your experiences and feel more whole in the here and now.

How Gestalt Therapy Helps You Feel Whole Again

Gestalt therapy helps you tune in, not tune out. You’ll learn how to gently face emotions instead of avoiding them, so they no longer have power over you.

At Cornerstone Wellness Center, our therapists use Gestalt techniques to help you connect your thoughts, feelings, and actions—so you can live with more honesty, clarity, and self-acceptance.

You don’t have to be “fixed.” You just have to feel fully present, one moment at a time.

A Simple Story:
Meet Brianna

Brianna is a 31-year-old graphic designer who always tries to keep people happy. She rarely speaks up for herself, often feels anxious after conversations, and tends to “zone out” when emotions get intense.

At Cornerstone Wellness Center, Brianna started Gestalt therapy. Her therapist helped her slow down and notice what she was feeling—not just what she thought others wanted her to say. Through creative exercises and honest dialogue, Brianna learned how to name her emotions and stay present with them, even when it was hard.

Now, Brianna doesn’t just smile on the outside—she feels peace on the inside, too.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Gestalt therapy?

Gestalt therapy helps you become more aware of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in the present moment so you can make conscious, healthy choices.

How is this different from other talk therapies?

Not necessarily. Existential therapy is based on philosophy, not religion—but it can include spiritual themes if that’s important to you.

Is this therapy only for individuals?

EFT focuses on emotional experience, not just logic. It helps you feel safer expressing vulnerability and creating deeper emotional bonds with others.

Will I have to do role-play or other activities?

Not necessarily. EFT works in the present moment, helping you heal patterns shaped by past experiences—without needing to retell every painful story.

Can Gestalt therapy help with anxiety or depression?

Yes. By helping you identify and express emotions, Gestalt therapy can reduce anxiety, lift emotional numbness, and improve your connection to others.
