NYC Therapists & Westchester Therapists
At The Gestalt Therapy Institute, we have worked with clients throughout the greater New York City area since 1986.
Alan Cohen
MSW, LCSW, ACSW, BCD, LP Washington University in St Louis. Alan’s interest in Gestalt therapy coincides with his 45 years of meditation practice. He studied with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi over the course of four years, before beginning his post graduate training in Gestalt therapy. “I see the two approaches as complementing and supporting each other in their focus on awareness, the present moment, and acceptance of what is, as the basis of moving into the next moment. I am particularly interested in the curative and healing value of one’s own presence.”
Alan has been practicing psychotherapy for 40 years, and has been providing clinical supervision and training therapists as faculty and Clinical Director of two institutes for 35 years. Alan also has been Distinguished Visiting Faculty at professional training conferences in Switzerland, Poland, Greece, Hungary, and Slovenia, training mental health professionals from around the world.
Connie Newman
MA, MA, LCAT, LMHC, LP, NCC, New York University. Connie’s interest in Gestalt therapy evolved from a professional dance and dance education background, to movement-dance therapy training, to the integrated mind-body emphasis of Gestalt therapy. “My current interests lie in the multi-utilizations of the therapeutic relationship to illustrate, engage and repair developmental wounds.”

The Psychotherapy Practice at the Gestalt Therapy Institute
If you are reading this page, it’s most likely because you feel like there’s something missing in your life…a nagging sense that you could feel more whole or more alive, with a greater sense of your own value…and you believe that psychotherapy may be what you need to move past the barriers that keep you stuck.
“Like ripples in a pond, the effects of our thoughts, feelings, and actions move out beyond us and affect the world around us. And the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of those around us affect us. We have our own inner worlds, but we are part of the pond that surrounds us. It affects us, as we affect it.” – Alan Cohen
