Greg Parker LPC

I do not have a single treatment modality. I tend to be a cognitively based therapist which aims to obtain a shift in the person's perspective of their life situation. I tend to be solution focused and practical in my suggestions and guidance. I believe that people need practical advice rather than grandiose unrealistic fodder. I also incorporate existentialist components into my sessions, because the ultimate goal of therapy is to understand the purpose of our life and who we truly are.

In my opinion, counseling can help to address difficult life situations and also to improve life in general. Life is too short to live with chronic anxiety, depression, or comfortability. I believe that just because someone seeks out counseling, it does not mean that they are mentally ill, but rather they are mature enough to seek out assistance. I don’t pretend to know everything, but I will do my best to help. Within my sessions, a client can expect to obtain insight into their mental health, perspective on their symptoms, and guidance on how to improve symptoms. I also tend to enjoy intellectual discussions which identify the roots of mental health issues within the modern world.
