New to Grow
Hi, I’m Greg Norris, a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in the neurosciences. I listen from a different perspective than many other providers you may have worked with in the past. I am grounded in both medical and mental health expertise and take time to truly understand what you're going through. My approach is integrative and collaborative, combining medication, therapy, and holistic strategies to help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
In our first session, you can expect a thoughtful and unhurried conversation where we explore what’s bringing you in and what you hope to get out of care. I’ll listen closely, not just for symptoms, but for the story behind them, so we can begin to make sense of what’s going on together. Rather than creating a rigid plan right away, we’ll begin building a relationship and explore treatment options as I become a partner in your health journey; this may include ordering labs, imaging, or other tools to help guide our next steps.
My strength lies in combining a deep clinical foundation with a holistic, integrative mindset. With dual certification in psychiatry and family practice, and years of neuroscience experience, I bring a unique perspective that considers both the mind and body in treatment. I’m not here to over prescribe; instead, I prioritize the therapeutic alliance, value your voice in the process, and take a team-based approach to help you find sustainable, meaningful solutions that align with your goals.
I’m best positioned to serve individuals who feel like they’ve been unheard or dismissed in their health journey. I want to work with those who are looking for more than a quick fix. My ideal clients are thoughtful, motivated to understand themselves, and want a provider who will truly listen and collaborate with them. Whether you're working through anxiety, overwhelm, or seeking clarity about treatment options, I aim to be a partner in your care—someone who helps you explore, make informed choices, and move forward with confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help patients recognize how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. We work together to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop more balanced, realistic ways of thinking. By practicing new coping strategies and behavior changes, patients gain tools to manage distress and move toward their goals.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing to help patients explore their own reasons for change in a non-judgmental, collaborative way. By asking open-ended questions and reflecting their responses, I help them resolve ambivalence and strengthen their internal motivation. This approach supports autonomy and builds confidence in taking steps toward meaningful goals.
