Hi there! I'm happy to welcome you to your therapeutic journey! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in both New York and North Carolina. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My clinical training and experience working on an inpatient psychiatric unit, as well as an outpatient substance abuse clinic, has provided me with the skillset to treat a variety of mental health diagnoses with compassion, support, and empathy.
I am a licensed psychologist providing services across the lifespan, although my training has provided me with a strong understanding of child and adolescent development, school based difficulties, and learning differences. I completed my doctorate in School Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my pre-doctoral clinical internship at the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities (CIDD). My master’s degree was completed in Counseling & Guidance at New York University. I specialize in treating children and teens with neurodevelopmental disabilities, including ADHD and autism.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, flexible, and informed by evidence-based practices. I provide individual psychotherapy for children and adolescents to address a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress-related difficulties, academic challenges, emotional difficulties, behavioral challenges, and relationship challenges.
Together, we'll consider what isn’t working and develop insights for how to change. I combine multiple treatment techniques, including CBT, DBT, and other behavioral/solution-focused approaches. I would be happy to speak with you about ways we may be able to work together to meet your needs. You are welcome to call or email to set up an initial consultation.

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.
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and encouraged. Together, we'll build on your strengths, explore practical solutions, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
For 18 years, I have worked alongside children and adults navigating some of life's hardest
moments: anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and more. I believe that when you
invest in your mental health, you gain more control over your own life, and that is something
worth working toward together. I am dually licensed in both North Carolina and South
Carolina, which means I bring a depth of clinical experience across many settings. Using a
blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, I meet you where
you are and help you build toward where you want to be.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wake Forest
Searching for therapists in Wake Forest starts with finding the right fit for what you want to address in care. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Wake Forest therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Wake Forest has local therapy options, and the broader Wake County area can add more choices. Since local appointment openings may vary, virtual therapy can make it easier to find a therapist whose schedule and focus fit what you need. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers in-person or virtual appointments, has appointment times that work for your calendar, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading each profile before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Wake Forest can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
