World-Class Coach Training. Real-World Impact. 🌎

Great coaches don't just ask powerful questions. They recognize patterns, navigate complexity, and create space for meaningful change.

The Gestalt Institute of Cleveland's GPCC™ Coach Certification Program combines ICF Level 2/PCC coaching education with the depth of Gestalt practice to help you grow beyond coaching techniques.

Through immersive, experiential learning, you'll develop:

✨Professional Credibility: Build the skills to coach individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations.

✨Real-time Capability: Strengthen your ability to respond to what emerges with awareness, confidence, and presence.

✨ A Distinctive Coach Identity: Develop a deeper, more intentional approach to coaching that supports lasting change.

Because becoming a great coach isn't just about what you know. It's about who you become through the process.

📅 Our next GPCC™ cohort begins October 16, 2026!

Giving to GIC creates a ripple effect 🌱

For GIC Board Member Scott Hamilton, giving is about ensuring the impact of this work continues far beyond any one person.

Practitioners and leaders carry what they learn at GIC into their workplaces, families, organizations, and communities, creating a powerful ripple effect.

That's

💚 Support the GIC Annual Fund and help sustain authentic connection, thoughtful leadership, and personal transformation for the communities still to come.

There’s something powerful about being in the room together.

This past weekend, GIC faculty gathered in person to reconnect, exchange ideas, and look ahead at what we’re building together.

Our Faculty Retreat was filled with inspiring ideas, thoughtful conversation, and renewed energy.

Faculty explored what it means to strengthen a unified voice for GIC while honoring the perspectives, experiences, and expertise that make this community what it is.

The weekend also created space to move beyond reflection and toward action, identifying opportunities to carry this energy forward and continue strengthening GIC as a community.

We’re grateful for the time together, the conversations shared, and the opportunity to reconnect in person.

There’s more work ahead, and we’re energized by what comes next.

What does your body know before your mind has found the words?

Spend a day outside the traditional classroom, surrounded by nature and working alongside a herd of horses, exploring what it means to become more present to yourself, to others and to what is happening in the moment.

🌿 Embodied Intelligence and Presence: A Gestalt Approach to Coming to Your Senses

You become the coach who sees more, works deeper, and makes a distinctive impact.

A coaching credential establishes your professional foundation.

The GPCC™ Program develops the coach you become.

By combining ICF required Level 2/PCC coaching education with the depth of Gestalt practice, the program equips you with:

✓ Professional credibility and versatility to coach individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations through complexity and change.

✓ A strong, grounded coach identity that gives you the confidence to work with what is emerging in real time, especially when the coaching becomes more demanding.

✓ A deeper way of working that helps you recognize patterns others may miss and create the conditions for meaningful, sustainable change.

This is an immersive, rigorous education in how to see, listen, respond, and intervene with greater awareness and precision.

You graduate with an ICF Level 2 credential pathway and a distinctive Gestalt foundation grounded in one of the world’s leading Gestalt traditions.

The result?

You do not simply know how to coach. You become a coach whose depth and capability clients can experience.

Our next GPCC™ cohort begins October 16.

September 22 is the final opportunity to attend a FREE Info Session before the program begins.

Meet the faculty, experience our approach, ask your questions, and consider the coach you want to become.

What happens when talking about it isn’t enough?

Sometimes the insight your coaching client needs doesn’t come from another question. It comes from creating, experimenting, noticing, and experiencing something differently.

Creative Expression: Going Deeper With Your Coaching Clients in a Virtual Setting is an experiential online workshop designed to help coaches bring creative expression into their work, even if you don’t consider yourself an artist.

Across four virtual sessions, you’ll explore creative techniques that can help clients unlock dilemmas, identify personal values, deepen self-discovery, and move from insight toward positive action.

You’ll experience and practice approaches like junk-mail mosaic, 3-D expression, creative marking and writing, partnering with nature, and more, while learning how to adapt these techniques for use with your own coaching clients.

And if you’ve attended this workshop before, there’s something new to explore. Different creative modalities are being introduced this year.

Advance toward your ICF PCC credential while mastering the humanistic depth, embodied presence, and real-time responsiveness of Gestalt coaching.

These two world class programs combined build the coach's capacity to stay grounded and present when coaching becomes complex.

While you walk your ICF PCC education path, you also deepen your humanistic coaching skills with Gestalt methodologies.

Build your credentials. Deepen your capabilities. Learn skills for maximum impact.

ICF + Gestalt = no better pairing.

Competencies matter.

But coaching isn't only about knowing what to do or asking good questions.

It's about developing the capacity to work with the complexity happening in the moment. It is about self and relational awareness, presence beyond being here in the moment, and understanding of the coaching field as it evolves and changes.

The GPCC™ Coach Certification Program combines ICF Level 2 education with the humanistic depth of Gestalt methodology, so you graduate with both a globally recognized certification education (PCC) and a way of coaching (Gestalt) that stays with you long after the program ends.

Join us at an upcoming FREE Info Session to learn more.

The most effective leaders don't just hear what's being said.

They notice what isn't.

When Allison Bruce completed Gestalt Institute of Cleveland's Working with Teams & Groups Program, she says it changed how she leads, teaches, supervises, and shows up in every room.

One lesson transformed everything:
"I learned how to listen to the space between the words and the things that were happening that were unspoken."

If your work involves leading people, you already know that every group has its own dynamics.

Learning to recognize them can change how you facilitate conversations, navigate conflict, and create lasting change.

Not every addiction begins with a substance.
Many begin with a need to survive.
Understanding that changes everything.

Traumatic childhood and life experiences can profoundly shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us.

For many individuals, addictive behaviors develop as ways to cope with emotional pain, regulate overwhelming experiences, or adapt to difficult circumstances.

Join Rafael Cortina, MBA, LMFT, MAC, CCTP-II, President of the International Association of Advanced Gestalt Therapists (IAAGT), for a two-day experiential workshop exploring the connection between trauma and addiction through a compassionate, relational Gestalt lens.
