Getting to know Greer Foister
I'm so excited for the opportunity to work with you. I have over a decade of experience as a clinician in various settings, including executive behavioral health leadership. If you are looking for sincere, calm, and sometimes humorous support, I am your gal!
Your journey starts with where you are. I will meet you there and, together, we will navigate where you want to go. Whether this is learning to live with grief, improve relationships, cope with trauma and change, or process through depression and anxiety, I'll grab the map and you take the wheel!
Young adults and professionals are my jam! As a clinician and Chief in my own right; I support the people who help people from a reality based platform. While branching to general adult and couples therapy with a sturdy focus on relationships, grief, and conflict coping and resolution.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Humor can be the best medicine! And sometimes helps the medicine go down. You can expect a soft, but honest therapeutic approach from me, and you can definitely expect some laughs on how we move through life. Once I understand YOUR communication style, I will know how to best communicate with you!
I explored many majors (Spanish, Business, Philosophy) and, ultimately, pursued social work because the person I respected most in the world was a social worker; my Mother. Once I was in my first class, I knew I was where I belonged. The instinct to help is in my blood, and I just cannot help but raise my hand and run toward the fire. I started my career in Child Protective Services and was spending more time counseling the parents, families, and kids than I was doing anything else. I would be locked in on a couch in the projects or the middle of nowhere, talking to an aunt caring for her traumatized niece, because that was where I was happiest and felt the most impactful. I went to grad school and got into behavioral health as fast as I could.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Often we find that we move in a way that does not mirror where we want to wind up. We will spend time on Socratic Questioning to really settle in on what your ACTUAL goals are. Then we will pick the simplest, easiest, most fun ways to adjust your habits and direction.
If it's your first time in therapy, you'll probably feel a little weird! It's not every day you have a person directly focused only on you for an entire hour. We will ride out the weird together, and you'll get the hang of it before you know it! If you are not new to therapy, then we will jump right in a little quicker; but ultimately we will start off with what brought you there and how I can help. No pressure with a friendly face.
