“What we call human nature in actuality is human habit.” —Jewel. Our lives are a summation of moment to moment decisions. As such, they can become slightly to severely complicated. I specialize in EMDR work but take a holistic approach to ensure my clients are “living their best life” by making great choices to thrive and become autonomous in their own lives. Sometimes mental health problems are merely just bad choices problems. I strive to help clients "get out of their own way" and make choices most conducive to allowing the human experience heal and progress, by re-aligning with nature via lifestyle choices!

As a counselor, I am genuine and caring when listening and providing support to my clients. I desire to offer hope and encouragement toward healing.

Hello, my name is Greg Stimler and I am here to help you find that path to joy, peace, and confidence in your life. You may be coming here under the burden of out of control reactions to things, stuck thinking tendencies, and doing things over and over again without clarity why or how to change any of these things. Or you may be doing "ok" but just feeling like you are spinning your wheels in life and lacking that passion and laser focus you wish you had to keep going. People are seeking clarity of that "why" in life and the "hows" to live it fully. I am here to help provide tools, support, guidance, and another perspective.

You are good enough, just as you are right now. Despite this truth, life can be difficult, painful, and just plain chaotic. Therapy can be a place of processing, healing, and discovering ourselves over again. It can be a place of forgiveness, acceptance, and learning that we are able to move forward with confidence in ourselves.
