About Me
Hi, I’m Shea Stevens. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, USA. I am passionate about humanistic therapy theory and philosophy. There is a rich community of gestalt practitioners and theorists all over the world. This writing is a small effort to be in community with this wonderful network.
I have also written a book on the history of the philosophical concept of form/gestalt. It’s on Amazon, linked HERE.
At times I will share here my own integration of theory, though my main goal is to highlight the work of others: Gestalt theorists, historians, writers and therapists. My perspective and way-of-being as a gestalt therapist may vary greatly from someone else’s. I believe each of us views and integrates theory uniquely.
I am an introvert, a forever learner, fond of plants and gardens. Always trying to cultivate nuance and balance in my life.
I might at times cover the work of thinkers who had problematic ideas or actions in their personal or professional lives, or used their ideas in a harmful way. My writing about various philosophers and therapists is not an endorsement of everything they said or did.
