The Awakened Therapist is an accessible introduction to gestalt therapy through the lens of transpersonal counseling, one that offers a clear and profound account of how to bridge the gap between traditional counseling and spiritual transformation. Bringing new depths to the art of therapy, Harmony Kwiker provides a map for therapists to dismantle the old paradigm of therapist-as-expert and honor their clients’ innate wisdom. The chapters seamlessly weave together elusive concepts of levels of awareness, subtle energy, and spiritual alignment with psychological concepts that are embedded in the theory and application of gestalt therapy. After reading this book, therapists will be inspired and energized while having more substantial breakthroughs with their clients.

Harmony Kwiker, MA, LPC, is a visiting instructor at Naropa University serving as lead gestalt faculty. She is the founder of the Institute for Spiritual Alignment, where she teaches the art of transpersonal counseling.
