Our approach: Gestalt therapy

Welcome!

At the Gestalt Therapy Institute of Sherbrooke, we welcome you into a space of presence and dialogue, where every encounter becomes an opportunity for exploration and transformation. We believe in the value of human contact, creativity and respect for each person’s pace.

Why choose the Institute?

Because we offer a professional and human space, built on more than 19 years of international clinical experience and recognized expertise in Gestalt therapy. Our approach is humanistic, phenomenological and existential, respectful of each person’s pace and uniqueness. We work with confidentiality, in accordance with the standards of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec, and offer services accessible in French, Portuguese, English and Spanish.

Our in-person clinical activities and training are offered in collaboration with Apogei Clinique, which hosts our meetings in Sherbrooke.

Our missionTo support individuals, couples and families on their personal and relational journey, fostering autonomy, self-awareness and more authentic choices.
Our visionTo offer a reference centre for Gestalt therapy in the Sherbrooke region, where clinical practice and creativity meet to support psychological well-being and enrich the community.

Resources to bring Gestalt to life

Beyond clinical support, the Gestalt Therapy Institute of Sherbrooke freely creates and shares tools, games, therapeutic and creative activities, as well as its radio — songs, meditations and podcasts. Designed for the general public as well as for therapists seeking living instruments, these resources are so many doors toward presence, expression and encounter. Our wish: to spread Gestalt therapy, nurture well-being and support practitioners, in a spirit of generosity and sharing. To explore, use and share freely.
