As we continue reintroducing members of our team, we’d like to introduce Greg, our Blended First Responder Clinician. Below is a brief bio he shared with us.
"I work exclusively with First Responders and their and families, offering a space where their unique experiences are understood and respected. I use my own background in public safety to connect on a deeper level, providing care that is both relevant and effective. Greg also draws on his personal challenges to help normalize therapy—showing that the process can be a safe, supportive step toward feeling better, not something to fear. I am also trained in EMDR.

We’ve had lots of new followers join us lately, so we’re reintroducing the amazing team at Halfwild Counseling! Meet Bri (LCSW)—here’s a short bio about her:
I bring over 10 years of clinical experience, ranging from crisis stabilization and case management to equine-assisted therapy. For nearly six years, I have worked with first responders and their families through a strongly trauma-informed lens. My treatment approach is eclectic, relational, and authentic, with an emphasis on creating a laid-back, supportive therapeutic environment. I frequently incorporate walk-and-talk sessions and am trained in EMDR."
