Meet Christopher Greer, LCSW | Compassionate Therapy in Soquel & Online in California
Welcome. If you’re here, you’re likely ready for a change—whether that’s healing from past trauma, breaking free from substance use patterns, finding relief from anxiety, or simply feeling more like yourself again. I’m Christopher Greer, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I’m honored you’re considering working together.
My Approach: Warm, Compassionate, and Rooted in Real Healing
I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and hopeful. In our sessions, there’s no “one size fits all.” I meet you exactly where you are—with curiosity, respect, and zero judgment. My style is warm and direct: we’ll explore what’s holding you back, uncover root causes (including trauma and life experiences), and build practical tools for lasting change.
I draw from evidence-based approaches like trauma-focused therapy (including EMDR-informed methods), mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and—when appropriate—Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other challenges that haven’t responded to traditional talk therapy alone.
Specialties & Experience
With years of clinical experience supporting people across California, I specialize in:
Trauma & PTSD (including complex trauma from childhood, relationships, or life events)
Substance Use & Addiction Recovery (mild to severe, dual diagnosis, harm reduction to abstinence paths)
Anxiety, Depression, & Chronic Stress (especially for high-achievers, parents, and professionals)
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) – Guided, intentional sessions to accelerate deep emotional processing and healing
Support for individuals navigating the criminal justice system or life transitions
Whether you’re in Soquel (in-person sessions available), nearby areas like Santa Cruz, Capitola, Scotts Valley, Aptos, or Los Gatos, or anywhere else in California via secure online therapy, I’m here to walk alongside you.
I’m passionate about this work because I’ve seen how profoundly people can transform when given the right support. Outside the therapy room, I love spending time with my wife and son, being in and around the ocean, time in nature, good conversations, and staying connected with community. Those simple joys remind me why healing matters, so you can reclaim them too.
I’m fully licensed as an LCSW in California and committed to ongoing training in trauma, addiction, and psychedelic-assisted therapies to bring you the most current, effective care.
