Hi, my name is Gregg Gaither and I am a product of Chicago Public Schools.  I grew up in Chicago in the South Shore Community.

As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in trauma, anxiety, grief, and working with individuals who have experienced violence, I bring over 25 years of experience to my practice. My passion lies in providing compassionate and effective support to those in need of healing.

In my work, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their experiences and emotions without judgment. I collaborate closely with my clients to tailor treatment plans that meet their unique needs.

My specialization in working with individuals who have experienced violence allows me to offer a deep understanding and sensitivity to the complex issues surrounding trauma. Whether my clients are survivors or perpetrators, I am committed to guiding them on a path toward healing, resilience, and empowerment.

In addition to my clinical work, I have extensively worked with students from Chicago Public Schools as a lead counselor. This experience has further honed my skills in providing support to individuals from diverse backgrounds and communities.

Beyond my clinical work, I am dedicated to advocacy and education in the field of mental health. I frequently conduct workshops and seminars on topics such as trauma-informed care, resilience-building, and effective coping strategies.

If you’re seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist to support you on your journey toward healing and recovery, I am here to help. Click on Book Now to schedule a consultation.
