Hello, my name is Greg Harmeling, Psy.D., LMFT, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about helping individuals navigate and overcome life's challenges. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in men's issues and trauma, providing a compassionate and evidence-based approach to therapy. My practice focuses on helping clients heal from trauma and develop practical strategies for a healthier and more fulfilling future. I utilize trauma-informed therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused practices, and EMDR to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. My practice is exclusively telehealth, allowing you to receive support from the comfort and privacy of your own home. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, including those who are justice-impacted. My goal is to create a supportive and safe environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
In your first session with me, clients can expect a warm, empathetic environment where we will discuss your goals, history, and current challenges. We'll collaboratively develop a tailored plan to address your unique needs and begin your journey toward healing and personal growth. I prioritize creating a safe space where you feel heard and understood, ensuring you are comfortable sharing your experiences. Together, we'll set the foundation for our therapeutic work, focusing on empowering you to achieve your desired outcomes.
My greatest strength, I believe, lies in my deep empathy and commitment to my client's well-being. I excel at creating a non-judgmental space where clients feel truly understood and supported. Clients often tell me how easy I am to talk to and how comfortable they feel opening up with me.
As a Certified Complex Trauma Therapist (CCTP level 2) and a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Certified Therapist (NATC), I am equipped with the expertise to guide you through the complexities of trauma and narcissistic abuse recovery. Additionally, I have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapy technique that can help you process and heal from traumatic experiences.
I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, enabling them to develop healthier coping mechanisms and achieve lasting positive change. In my practice, I incorporate CBT techniques to collaboratively work with clients in setting practical goals, monitoring progress, and reinforcing new, adaptive behaviors.
With a strong foundation in humanistic therapy, I focus on fostering a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore their authentic selves. In my practice, I use humanistic methods to promote self-awareness and personal growth, helping clients realize their full potential and achieve a deeper sense of fulfillment.
I have extensive experience in Trauma-Informed Care, which emphasizes understanding and recognizing the effects of trauma on individuals' lives. In my practice, I integrate Trauma-Informed principles to create a safe and supportive environment, ensuring clients feel validated and empowered throughout their healing journey.
With specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I have effectively guided clients through the process of resolving traumatic memories and reducing distress.
