Greg is not on the EMDRIA website. I learned after having a bad experience with him, that if you are seeking EMDR therapy, it is best to choose a therapist from their site. It doesn't mean that the experience will be better, but it does mean that the therapist has achieved a certain standard of training in order to be an EMDRIA certified therapist, rather than just attended a few conferences...At first, Greg was very good and I was experiencing some hope and relief from my particular struggles. After several months, his demeanor began to change completely. It was as though he wasn't seeing or hearing me anymore, but already had an idea in his head of who I was. He ended therapy with me suddenly, without warning, and without my consent, which was very traumatic and exacerbated my PTSD symptoms to a debilitating level, so much so that I am unable to work; this is due to my particular situation and not all his fault. However, in addition to that, he has refused to open a dialog with any of the therapists I've had after him and, as a result, I've been struggling to understand what happened and to gain closure. My current therapist left three voicemail messages on his machine before giving up. We then decided that maybe his psych notes would be helpful in gaining some closure. I first requested them on my own. When I didn't receive a response, my therapist wrote a letter to him requesting that he release them to me and sent it to him from her office, also noting on the letter that if he had any questions to contact her. (He had a current release to speak to her at the time.) 12 days later, I received a letter from his lawyer, who specializes in representing healthcare organizations against patient/client malpractice claims. (Please note: I do NOT have a lawyer, and had not filed any type of law suit against him.) The lawyer stated that I needed to provide her with my healthcare provider information, after which the notes would be released to my healthcare provider. She also noted that my request for a closure session with Greg was not appropriate due to the length of time that had passed. (I never received a closure session after Greg decided to terminate counseling and that was one of the things my therapists were hoping to understand in contacting him.) I felt extremely violated that he contacted a lawyer rather than speaking to my therapist/therapists, as I believe that would have been the most professional and compassionate action to take. I was not comfortable interacting with his lawyer and will not do so. It is also not something that any therapist will tell you, but I was told by the lawyer that represented the board of social work that a therapist can contact a lawyer and share any and all of your confidential information with them for ANY reason and that that lawyer can act on their behalf and it isn't against the law. I would not have requested my psych notes if I knew he would be able to provide confidential, identifying information to a lawyer and have her contact me.
He won't take sides, he is only there to help and he puts his heart into everything he does.
Excellent therapist.
