Greg Custer Counseling, LLC
Counselor, MS, LCPC
Verified
I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME ............That saying, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" -- I think it should be "What doesn't kill me makes me suffer." So many people feel unheard, disconnected, tired, worthless, fearful, sad, anxious and forgettable. They need the skills to nurture their resilience, to discern their incredible value. There's a loneliness in struggling. But I'm here to help you heal yourself with a new, creative perspective and find resources you didn't know you possessed.

Who is the most influential person you know? Would you believe it's yourself? You listen to the thoughts in your head more than anyone else. Your internal dialogue shapes your behaviors more than you can imagine. We often get stuck when we believe these thoughts.

I know first-hand how unmanageable life can sometimes feel. The day to day stressors of work, family, relationships, finances, and health concerns can feel completely overwhelming. Life transitions can be complicated and scary. The entire world is dealing with collective trauma and perhaps you are experiencing your own personal trauma as well. It's all hard and can leave you feeling out of control and/or lonely. But I want you to know that you don't have to go through this alone.
