"...help clients understand the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors"
Hello! It's wonderful to have the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Greg, and I have been working in counseling for twenty-five years now.
When it comes to therapy, I like to focus on your strengths and solutions, utilizing a strengths-based, solution-focused, cognitive behavioral approach to therapy. While my approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, I also use dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and expressive therapies to tailor treatment to your unique needs. I believe it's essential to help clients understand the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we can work on reframing any unhelpful core beliefs, improving your self-esteem, and developing effective problem-solving strategies to create positive choices and coping responses.
Ultimately, my goal is to empower you to make positive choices and develop healthy coping mechanisms. I take pride in working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space for all my clients.
