The therapeutic relationship is a microcosm of your relationships in the outside world. When we develop a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship, it becomes a fertile ground for learning, growing, and exploring your inner wisdom so that you gain more effective thought patterns and skills for deeper, stronger, and more compassionate relationships with both yourself and others. With trust, we are able to ask each other productive questions that sometimes feel uncomfortable in order to uncover your deep-seated needs and find healthy ways of meeting these needs both through self-care and relationships with others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543789660530-BHRMHIPIAGH954GO4EEJ/how+i+do.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543794250514-E08F0H7Z2XH3P9WU6QKQ/brain_ow.png Home Do you easily find yourself lost down a rabbit hole of thoughts and feelings of deficiency? Do you have a deep-seated habit of unnecessarily scanning the environment for something you can focus your worry on? Do you have the tendency to make this place of worry your home-base? With CBT, we examine together your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to distinguish which ones are limiting you in your relationships with self and others. Which behaviors are helpful and which are ultimately hurtful? Which thoughts are perpetuating negative core beliefs and a shaming storyline? I help you gain awareness of which thoughts are irrational, explore where they came from, and to reframe these thoughts of "not good enough" and "I'm not deserving" in a compassionate light to help you get unstuck and to move forward toward a more fulfilling life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543794214507-MH5N9PEFIVYDIFATTREA/mindful_ow.png Home When we get lost in our feelings and related, harmful storylines, we lose touch with what we are actually experiencing. By noticing thoughts and feelings where they are in the body and learning to sit with them, we are able to begin cultivating acceptance of ourselves and our capacity for distress tolerance. This allows us to work toward healthy, patient processing of our emotions. Even when feelings are painful, they do not have to feed a negative storyline. Painful feelings can be useful to help us understand what we need, and our stories can be altered. There is liberation that comes with being able to step outside of ourselves and see our thoughts and feelings for what they are - just thoughts and feelings. They can and should often be used as information, but they do not have to control us. My mindfulness-based approach is informed by my seventeen years of being a yoga practitioner and five years as a yoga teacher. Eight years ago, I spent several months in South America where I completed a 10-day silent course in Vipassana, an ancient meditation technique which means “to see things as they really are”. This experience inspired me to complete a trauma-informed yoga teacher training with Community Yoga Austin, which led to me teaching yoga to kids in elementary schools. This powerful period of self-exploration shapes my clinical orientation and influences the tools I offer individuals to help them find acceptance, peace, and balance within themselves and their relationships with others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543790249129-O8JM42H10J28ITIMUWX3/green-blue0grad.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543794595978-9HEYVQF1C7370BYY7QFW/bluepurpgrad.png Home https://greer-lcsw.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543793151336-10SG9BJ1FUXS38QOBWE4/phone.png Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543792022954-J2KQE30KNZTNPA8B5L8U/email.png Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543793251226-YILMME4A2EIZRKYT63VK/office.png Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543789901404-MG17ZS52JG3OGUTWCJBL/green-blue0grad.png Contact https://greer-lcsw.com/home daily 1.0 2024-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/06429bfb-8efe-4cf3-a299-612b71da82f7/GreerHeadshot-1001.jpg About Me - About me Welcome! My name is Greer Culbertson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina in 2009. In 2013, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a masters of science in social work. I work with adolescents, adults, groups, and couples to help folks feel comfortable and confident in their own skin and to promote growth in areas including self-confidence, distress tolerance, effective communication of needs, and self-awareness. Other issues I explore with clients include gender identity concerns, boundary-setting, and healthy coping skills for intense and overwhelming emotions. I also believe in working with the family system when necessary because so many of our behaviors, thoughts and feelings are shaped by our environments and relationships. I have an eclectic approach that is informed by mindfulness-based practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). My approach for each individual is different to match your unique needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543785189576-Q5IK8G2JD5CTLSTLI0WR/green-blue0grad.png About Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543790903703-A01PQU2QEEVG4UBRLS3I/bluepurpgrad.png About Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543790249129-O8JM42H10J28ITIMUWX3/green-blue0grad.png About Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543790249129-O8JM42H10J28ITIMUWX3/green-blue0grad.png About Me https://greer-lcsw.com/fees daily 0.75 2024-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/a6a14096-c4d0-4be5-9d28-5ae847a65698/priscilla-du-preez-aPa843frIzI-unsplash.jpg Fees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543790249129-O8JM42H10J28ITIMUWX3/green-blue0grad.png Fees https://greer-lcsw.com/ketamineassisted-psychotherapy daily 0.75 2024-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543790249129-O8JM42H10J28ITIMUWX3/green-blue0grad.png Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy https://greer-lcsw.com/ketamineassisted-psychotherapy-1 daily 0.75 2024-02-13 https://greer-lcsw.com/fees-1 daily 0.75 2024-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/a6a14096-c4d0-4be5-9d28-5ae847a65698/priscilla-du-preez-aPa843frIzI-unsplash.jpg Fees (Copy) https://greer-lcsw.com/contact-cta-copy daily 0.75 2024-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfb2be550a54f868ec182d8/1543790903703-A01PQU2QEEVG4UBRLS3I/bluepurpgrad.png Contact CTA (Copy)
