Rev. Gary Greene, LPC

Rev. Gary Greene brings a counseling practice shaped by formal training in marriage and family therapy and long experience across community and clinical settings. He earned a Master degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and later pursued doctoral work in Pastoral Counseling, holding ABD status which indicates completion of all doctoral coursework and examinations except the dissertation. He became a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - and has worked with people of all ages in community programs as well as hospital inpatient and outpatient services.

His training spans families and couples, parenting concerns, self-esteem work, grief and loss, psychological trauma, depressive mood disorders, ADHD, and anxiety disorders. Two central interests guide his practice: addressing the trauma that follows loss and helping couples navigate crises in their relationships. He draws on approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems models, and Person-Centered methods, shaping care around each person or family while honoring their beliefs and goals.

Rev. Greene emphasizes a caring, client-focused stance that seeks practical strategies and deeper understanding. He aims to support recovery and growth whether clients bring concerns about relationships, trauma, mood, addiction, parenting, or life transitions, and he adapts his work to the needs presented in therapy.
