“In terms of my work, people often ask me how I do it, listening to people’s problems all day long. I tell them that I don’t hear problems. I hear people wanting to change, wanting to be better human beings, wanting to create happier families. I have been privileged to work with people from every continent and from all walks of life. Over and over again I hear people wanting to love and be loved more effectively. I hear people wanting to remove the barriers in their life and provide more for their loved ones on every level. I hear people looking for ways to contribute and improve their contact skills in the world.
This is a privileged position that I have, sharing so many heartwarming moments of laughter and tears with people working toward healing.”
Mariah Fenton Gladis – Founder and Clinical Director
Welcome to the Pennsylvania Gestalt Center for Psychotherapy and Training. The Center, founded in 1973, by Mariah Fenton Gladis, MSS, QCSW, is the first center in the Delaware Valley of Pennsylvania to offer Gestalt psychotherapy and training. With the addition of Dr. Dori Middleman, and Dr. Mark Putnam, the Center has built a reputation for its unusually creative and supportive approach, which emphasizes appreciation and enhancement of each individual client and student. Our mission is the same as it was from the beginning, to offer a safe and supportive environment for growth and change.
Here at the Center, we emphasize the development of keen self-awareness and healthy contact with others, with your environment, and most importantly, with yourself. These interactions on all levels—emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual—are fundamental to your life as a healthy functioning person. Our unique approach offers you the opportunity to rediscover and integrate lost aspects of yourself and clearly express the truth of who you really are. It is a challenging and deeply rewarding journey into wholeness.
The Pennsylvania Gestalt Center is also a comprehensive community resource that provides caring, professional psychotherapy, education and counseling to individuals, couples, families and groups. While addressing a diversity of personal and emotional concerns, our therapists are dedicated and experienced mental health professionals who work with people of every age and every stage of life. We invite you to look over our site and call or e-mail us here at the office and let us know what you need and how we can help you. |
