D. Gregg Mohr, M.A., MHC-A
Gregg
says, “For change to occur in one’s life, one must seek a deeper
understanding of self in relation to the greater opportunity to be of
service. This demands an in-depth exploration of one’s past traumas,
one’s thinking and belief system, and one’s pursuant self-fulfilling
behaviors.”
Gregg counsels with an emphasis on
"changing your thinking
+ changing your behavior
= a change in life experience."
From this change in life experience, Gregg
emphasizes the healing impact of renewed meaning, resolution and a
connection with a greater sense of hope.
Gregg specializes in chemical dependency and anger management
to include the resolution of interpersonal conflict, anxiety and
stress. Gregg lives each day in the reality of God and is devoted to
