Support Your Clients' Journey to Authentic Self-Awareness
This Gestalt Therapy Intake Form is designed specifically for mental health professionals practicing Gestalt therapy—a humanistic approach focused on present-moment awareness, personal responsibility, and authentic contact. Whether you're a solo practitioner, part of a group practice, or running a dedicated Gestalt therapy center, this template helps you gather the essential information you need to begin meaningful therapeutic work.
Gestalt therapy emphasizes the here-and-now experience, exploring how clients relate to themselves, others, and their environment in the present moment. This intake form is structured to capture not just clinical history, but also clients' current awareness, patterns of contact and withdrawal, and areas of unfinished business that may be impacting their lives today.
What Makes This Template Unique
Unlike generic therapy intake forms, this template includes questions specifically aligned with Gestalt therapy principles: awareness of bodily sensations, emotional patterns, interpersonal contact styles, and readiness for experiential work. You'll gather information about how clients experience themselves in the present, what they're avoiding or aware of, and what brings them to therapy right now.
