“When I tell Greg about the jumbled and contradicting thoughts and emotions I have, he is quick to understand them and relate them to himself, pop culture references, statistics, and scientific studies, and gives me the tools and seeds of thought to work through and around them. He helps me understand my own thought processes and what I can do about them to make my mental and emotional life better”

Getting to know Greg Blair
Hi everyone, I'm Greg.
I understand that emotions can be confusing, relationships can be messy, and past experiences can negatively impact our present lives. However, I believe that with proper coping strategies, we don't have to remain stuck in dysfunctional patterns. I realize change can be scary, and people often remain frozen in place due to the fear of the unknown. While change and acceptance are two concepts that are diametrically opposed, with the right mindset, they can work hand-in-hand to promote growth and healing.
I have been helping clients improve their lives for over two decades. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, having earned my Master's in Social Work and my Doctorate of Social Work also from Capella University. My doctoral capstone project researched the use of Integrated Treatment to effectively treat co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders using a holistic approach to address these disorders simultaneously. Oftentimes, the root causes of addiction are comingled with other underlying mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, or grief. I believe that treating both conditions simultaneously brings about the best chance of success for lasting healing and recovery.
Before obtaining my doctoral degree, I spent two decades working at a community mental health center through its emergency services department. This experience provided the opportunity to work with diverse clients struggling with all manner of concerns. Additionally, I spent the past six years working part-time at an addiction recovery center, treating clients individually, in groups, and with their family systems to help combat the disease of addiction. As a result of these opportunities, I am experienced in all manners of mental health, as well as addiction counseling, family counseling, and grief counseling.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I help my clients look at every situation from a multitude of angles to help find opportunities for learning and growth. I see my clients as individuals and will work with each one to develop a treatment approach unique to their needs. I will work as hard as my clients, giving each one of them a multitude of skills they can utilize to empower themselves I strive to create a relaxed atmosphere and realize my clients are the experts on their own lives. You are in the driver's seat and we will move at your pace.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
