Smith, LISW-CPS: “Over the past 30+ years I have always seen myself essentially as a coach, and my purpose has always been to help people become more and more effective in every part of their life. What’s exciting for me is to see clients change things that they never thought they could change – and their own amazement at how quickly and easily they can succeed with the right kind of help.”
Practicing in Greenville, SC since 1982, Greg has two Master’s Degrees in Individual, Marriage, & Family Therapy, and is a Licensed Independent Clinical Practice Supervisor; Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner; Certified EMDR Therapist, Consultant, and Approved Training Provider; and Licensed Mars & Venus Therapist, personally trained by Dr. John Gray.
