Greg provides treatment for adolescents and individuals in their early 20’s. Greg assists this age group in identity issues, “failure to launch” (post high school and college), substance abuse, academic stress, anxiety, depression, poor social y and post college planning. Greg also has experience working with adults who suffer from work stress, marital stress, anxiety, depression, family stress and substance abuse.
