LCPC Wholeness Guide and Therapist

Greg is a licensed clinical professional counselor in private practice in Missoula and is trained in Core Competencies in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy with Seattle-based Telos Transformational Therapies. 

Greg completed his undergraduate studies in psychology at Manchester University in England and his graduate studies in counseling at the University of Montana.

Living in an intentional spiritual community for 20 years and practicing meditation intensively integrated with his somatic-based and neuroscience approaches led to a specialization in applying mindfulness to healing trauma.

Greg’s interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy is inspired by the desire to support others in their spiritual journey, transforming ego-based perspectives to more expansive states of being. His enthusiasm is deepened at the possibilities of working with this psychedelic-based approach to catalyze the healing of the individual. Particularly in the face of the many unmet needs within the tsunami of mental suffering, currently overwhelming our communities around the world.

Greg and his wife Kathryn live, work, and play in Missoula and share the care of his three amazing children and their Shepard dog Bailey.
