I believe that the willingness to change and the courage and strength that this requires is an honorable virtue. I consider my role as a therapist a sacred privilege to journey along side of a person toward true and lasting change. My inherent warmth and calming nature along with sound clinical knowledge and experience provides clients a place to experience compassionate truth that they ultimately find within themselves and becomes their means to move forward. I also believe that the client-therapist relationship involves ongoing collaboration to ensure mutual understanding and progress.

Life and love can be messy. Our 24/7 world can make otherwise successful people get out of balance in their lives and in their relationships. The good news is: quality, research-based counseling works for couples and individuals. Together, we can help you and/or your relationship feel better.

I work collaboratively with my clients to help them resolve problems and reach their goals for personal wellbeing. You will find me to be non-judgmental, supportive, and genuine. I have experience successfully helping people with a wide range of concerns, from everyday stress to severely impairing mental health problems. My approach to therapy focuses on the thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns that may be causing difficulties. I often teach coping skills and mindfulness-based strategies. I also attend closely to the therapeutic relationship and to the development of insight or increased self-awareness in clients.

As a psychologist I offer thoughtful therapeutic services to adults, children, adolescents, and families who feel very unhappy or stuck in painful patterns that they cannot explain. Over the years, I have provided consultation, testing, and psychotherapy to children, adults, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, low self esteem, learning difficulties, behavior problems, relationship issues, unresolved grief, addiction, and a variety of other concerns. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and aimed at fostering resiliency, empathy, and self-awareness. I am a GLBTQ-affirming therapist and work with adults, children, and families from diverse racial, ethnic, class, and religious backgrounds.

I have been a practicing psychologist for twenty years. I describe my approach as Insight + Stratgey: using insight into your concern to develop strategies to address it. I enjoy working flexibly and efficiently. My work is tailored to your unique personality. I am certified as a Master Practitioner of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and use the MBTI to develop an understanding your healthy personality, to identify your strengths, preferences, and potential areas for growth.

NOW OFFERING TELEHEALTH! Life often feels hectic and out of control. At times it feels like life is living you, not the other way around. You feel like you have to always be "on". YOU FEEL EXHAUSTED. You have so many plates in the air and you put everyone else's happiness before your own. But now you are wondering why you bother because your sacrifices seem to go unnoticed and under appreciated. And somewhere in the process of taking care of everyone else you seemed to lose your sense of self. You can't even remember what it was like to live life as your best self, let alone how to get back to that place.

It's courageous to ask for help, to seek counseling. One of the most important responsibilities I have is to create a space for clients to work, explore, create, and move toward healing.

Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Greg St. Martin. I provide counseling to children, adolescents, adults and families. My theoretical approach is Person Centered. Person-Centered Therapy utilizes the approach that each person is unique, valued, and worthy of unconditional acceptance. I received a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Play Therapy at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2017. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate in North Carolina (LCMHCA, #A13814) and a National Certified Counselor.

Every child yearns to be seen, heard, and understood. My goal with our time is that your child feels more connected with their inner world and more confident in speaking for their needs. My style of counseling is particularly effective with children experiencing worries and having a hard time self-regulating and/or listening to their body. I want to support you (the care-taker) and your little one. Through our relationship, communication will improve, self-esteem will boost, we will practice mindfulness and autonomy, and problem solving. I have a specialty in building emotional intelligence in children with autoimmune disorders.

Every problem has solutions, therapy has you consider those solutions, which in turn transforms your life. I find that people labor too long over whether or not to start a cycle of therapy. I encourage you to explore your curiosity about the therapeutic process.

Are you looking to solve a personal or relationship problem, to manage depression or anxiety, or to heal the hurt of a loss? My practical, and positive approach has helped hundreds of people like you. I have 30 years of social work experience and a calm, gentle personality that will put you at ease.

Making the decision to seek therapy can be difficult, especially when you’ve grown accustomed to just pushing through your successful and busy life. However under the surface you're struggling with feeling alone, stressed, overwhelmed, anxiety or depressed. I have extensive experience in supporting many in this situation.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, background, ethnicities, and races. I especially enjoy working with couples, families, and teenagers.

I am available to work with clients who are experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, relationship discord, effects of chronic medical conditions and chronic stress, fertility/adoption issues and career/life direction questions. I take a practical, skills-based approach, collaborating with clients to incorporate information from past and present toward more effective functioning. My outlook is holistic, attending to the physical and spiritual/meaning realms as well as the cognitive, emotional and behavioral ones. I have a warm and friendly manner and I enjoy working with people as they identify and achieve their goals.

My practice includes work with individuals, generally ages 13 and up, and couples. I have a part-time practice, since I am also Coordinator of the Master's in Psychology training program at UNC Charlotte. With my small practice, I make appointments with you myself, and there is no bureaucracy to deal with. I am on many insurance plans. I think you will find that working with me is comfortable and practical, and when you come in, we start right away to discuss what your concerns are.

If you are seeking change in your life, whether to improve your relationships, overcome challenges you are facing, dealing with depression, anxiety, overwhelm or struggling in your marriage or as a parent, I can support you in that process. If you are struggling as a parent, I provide parent coaching services. If you have specific goals and changes in your life or relationships I also provide life coaching. I work in a collaborative manner and strive to provide a safe and respectful environment so you are able to explore those things in your life which you desire support, change and/or healing.
