This two-day Encounter Group is designed to promote the work of American humanistic psychologist
Carl Rogers.  Rogers’s Person-Centered theory is action-oriented.  The Encounter Group offers a practical arena for applying Person-Centered concepts to real relationships. The encounter will be facilitated by three seasoned Person-Centered practitioners, and space will be limited to ten participants.

If you are interested, please send us an email describing why you are interested in the Person-Centered Approach.

Facilitators:

Elvira M. Medus, LMSW
I am a Humanistic Client-Centered psychotherapist trained within the Rogerian/Person Centered Approach trained at Holos in Argentina. My work is to promote the discovery of each client's potential and inner wisdom. In that journey, I honor and embrace the clients' experiences that emerge in the therapeutic process allowing them to explore and find new answers to their questions.

Mark Rodgers, MA
I trained in the Person Centered Approach in the UK and have been living and working in a commercial context here in the US for the past 6 years. Although I am not currently a practicing psychotherapist, each day, I am reminded of the power of what Carl Rogers called a 'Way of Being'.

Sarton Weinraub, Ph.D
I am a Rogerian person-centered psychotherapist who believes the primary goal of therapy is deep empathic listening and nonjudgmental acceptance. As a psychotherapist, I feel it is important to avoid biases, not to impose values, and to appreciate each person as the expert on his or her life. I believe that a properly structured and facilitated Encounter Group can be an ideal therapeutic experience for any individual willing to fully participate.
