My name is Greg, and I'm an LCSW and psychoanalytic candidate at the Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas. Originally from New York, I studied History of the Middle East and North Africa at Oberlin College before moving to Asheville, North Carolina. For several years, I worked doing direct care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as in-home care for older adults in the general population. While caring for my clients in these settings, I became interested in psychoanalysis as a way to more thoroughly understand their experiences. I then attended the Social Work program at Western Carolina University, where I specialized in the treatment of substance use disorders, working at an intensive outpatient program and a state treatment center offering affordable detoxification and acute care. After graduating, I moved to the Triangle to pursue psychoanalytic training, and am now in clinical practice in Chapel Hill.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Greensboro
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Greensboro starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who clearly states experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, gender-diverse clients, coming out, relationship concerns, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some therapists may also mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or experience supporting transgender, nonbinary, queer, and gender-expansive people. These details can help you find a therapist whose training, specialties, and approach match what you want from care.
Greensboro offers both local and virtual therapy options, which can help widen your search for an affirming therapist. In a mid-size city, the right fit may be nearby, or you may prefer a virtual appointment with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and any background or identity details that matter to you. Reading bios before booking can show how a therapist describes their communication style, areas of focus, and experience with LGBTQIA+ communities.
Therapy in Greensboro can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, and see estimated costs after you enter your coverage details. From there, you can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
