Affordable Therapy at Our Treatment Center
While the outside world is filled with chaos and rapid change, the Gestalt Center offers an accessible, therapeutic sanctuary for sensitive, creative people seeking authenticity and genuine human connection in a time of increasing polarization and digitization. It is a place where difference is celebrated, welcomed and respected - not discriminated against; where slow, unhurried unfolding in the presence of, and in relation to an Other is cultivated. It is a space for caring for humanity and of mutual care.
Looking for meaningful, affordable therapy?
At the Gestalt Center, we offer a welcoming, supportive space for people who are sensitive, creative, or simply seeking real human connection in a fast-paced, impersonal world.
Here, difference is celebrated, not just tolerated. Our treatment space invites slow, thoughtful exploration in the presence of another—where mutual care, curiosity, and presence are central to the healing process.
Sliding Scale Therapy with Supervised Student Therapists
Our Treatment Center provides low-fee psychotherapy with advanced student therapists who are carefully trained in the Gestalt approach and supervised by licensed, experienced therapists.
Sliding scale rates available
Sessions start well below typical NYC therapy rates (often $250/session elsewhere)
No insurance required
Bilingual therapists may be available
Evening hours available
Unlike high-volume clinics or app-based platforms, our therapists work with small caseloads, allowing for more thoughtful, engaged care. Every student therapist receives ongoing, in-depth supervision from some of the most respected Gestalt therapists in Manhattan.
What Makes Our Therapy Different?
Our therapists are trained in the Aesthetic Relational Model—a Gestalt-based approach that emphasizes attunement, presence, and authenticity. This is different from models like CBT, which often focus on tools and strategies rather than the healing power of the relationship itself.
Sessions are offered:
In person
Via telehealth
Or in a hybrid format
Recording sessions are never required, though some clients may choose to participate in recorded sessions to support the therapist’s learning process.
