Getting to know Gregory Walston

Hi there, I'm Gregory! Find yourself and resolve what is in the way of being satisfied in life. My goal is first to understand what you are facing, then to work with you to resolve past hurts, present obstacles, and help you find your way to a better path forward. Let's create a life for you to live more fully! My focus I deal with LGBTQIA+ persons of all ages, as well as children, pre-teens or teens in nontraditional families or situations. I provide trauma-informed methods to resolve trauma and remove blocks so you can grow and become the person you hope to be in life. My approach In therapy, I want to know what you value, what you have been through, and what you want to resolve and/or accomplish. I use creative and present - focused trauma-informed and gender -affirming approaches with people who identify as LGBTQIA+ or different, and resolve what keeps you from activating inner resources to build the steps to get there. My communication style I listen, feel and attune with you so we can develop safety and security in therapy. I really want to know how life is from your view and work from there to build the steps to get where you want to be. I adapt my style to fit what you need, offer insights, suggestions, and experiments to see what works or does not work to help you work things out. My journey to mental healthcare I am happy to share this story when we meet, but the word limit does not allow it. Basically, I started as a young artist, then found how art can heal and connect us, and worked from there to become a leader in community mental health, become a therapist, get my PhD, and also a few other degrees in Educational Media and C&I to design MH learning.
