Hartford Family Institute, LLP located in West Hartford, Connecticut, developed a P.R.I.M.E. relationship with the Foundation on May 25, 2001. HFI offers a clinical, experiential, and didactic educational and training program for the Doctor of Ministry or Doctor of Psychology degree programs of the Foundation. The therapy that is practiced and taught at the Institute is a unique approach developed at HFI called Body-Centered Gestalt Psychotherapy. The program is entitled An Energy Based Psychotherapeutic-Spiritual Approach to Healing. The roots of Body-Centered Gestalt Therapy come from Gestalt Therapy, BioEnergetic Analysis, Satir’s communication work, Steve Gallegos’s work with animal imagery and the chakras, ceremony and shamanism, spirituality, and mindfulness. These roots have been integrated into a creative and original therapy that provides a cohesive and coherent understanding of human behavior that offers deep personal transformation. Stuart Alpert and Naomi Lupin-Alpert co-founded HFI in 1969 and soon after co-developed Body-Centered Gestalt Therapy. They received their Doctorates in Psychology from the Foundation.
 
Completion of Levels I and II through Hartford Family Institute fulfills all coursework requirements of the D.Min. degree. Completion of Levels I, II and III fulfills all coursework requirements of the Psy.D. degree. Students in either program must also develop a doctoral project for submission to the Foundation, or attend a residential institute to fulfill the Non-Project Option.
