About the Center
In 2003, the Hellinger Institute of Western Pennsylvania was established to promote the principles of Bert Hellinger's phenomenological family systems theory in universities, hospitals, clinics, schools and counseling centers by offering workshops and professional trainings. In 2008, The Center for Behavioral Genetics was formed to provide counseling, training and education to better understand and resolve the effects of trauma and identification in family systems. Workshops and training including monthly courses in The Core Sentence® and Family Constellations are offered.
