My mission is to inspire clients to grow personally and emotionally. Everyone has the right to be happy. Addressing your concerns through therapy can help. At Preston Counseling, I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort between the individuals and the therapist. Change is possible with understanding and empathy, and the right tools.
When a client is an active participant in his or her treatment, and is committed to applying the knowledge gained through their therapy session to life, positive and powerful changes can happen. During individual sessions, our focus is on supporting you while you discover a better place, whether that's the other side of depression or freedom from a past trauma.

It is better to face our problems then run and hide from them. People often try to distract from their issues with alcohol, drugs, avoidance, overextending, distractions, and other maladaptive coping strategies. Sometimes initially people feel a little worse before they get better. It's kind of like exercise.

Finding the right counselor for me has been challenging and frustrating. If you're struggling and on the hunt and in the Charlotte area, I'd highly recommend that you contact Greg. He's professional, empathetic, knowledgeable and is clearly invested in seeing you make progress session to session. Communicating your burdens to a complete stranger can initially seem awkward, but that's never been the case in working with Greg. His sessions are absolutely worth the investment and time if you're interested in making actionable changes in your life.

I have had great progress since starting to see Greg. He has been able to help me recognize a lot of areas where I struggle and given me useful ways to look at them in a new light where they have much less impact. I enjoy coming in because I do not feel pressured into talking about something that's not an issue. He makes it easy to talk and allows me to dictate the conversation. It's been an awesome experience to see the changes in my thinking and attitude since dealing with Greg.

Greg has an awesome approach when it comes to dealing with the individual. I like that he took the time to understand my situation and understand what I was really dealing with before diving in. I've made huge progress since coming out to see Greg and know that there is a long way to go still. I have confidence that I can make the needed life changes by continuing to work with greg on a lot of the areas I struggle.

Mr. Preston has a calming way about him. I got a lot out of our sessions. He is a good listener, is compassionate, and gave me good insights. His practice is comfortable, professional and personable. After he got to know me he gave me customized, perceptive feedback which was helpful. I felt like I could open up and share a lot of things I haven't told people for fear of being judged or it being repeated. It's nice to have a confidential safe place to confide in someone. He is friendly, down to earth, and made therapy interesting. I learned a lot about myself and figured out ways to approach issues

I have worked with Greg Preston for over a year to overcome challenges with depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Today I feel I am back on my feet again, calm and confident. Greg helped me tremendously. He is patient, never tiring of my repetitious negative thinking and ready to listen closely even if we have already gone over strategies to resolve the obstacles. One particular strength is his endless ability to reframe even my most bleak and entrenched thoughts. He commands a large toolbox of strategies and perspective altering thought experiments and anecdotes. These have helped me break

Mr. Preston was very easy to talk to and put me at ease instantly. There are no judgements here and I strongly recommend him as a counselor. I believe counseling can be a means to living a healthy and happy life and Mr. Preston has helped me realize that we can all have different morals, goals and lifestyles while still treating others with respect. Mr. Preston has helped me realize that my feelings and needs are important and without taking care of myself, I am not able to truly be happy or take care of anyone else. I actually enjoyed our sessions and he is super easy to talk to. If you are thinking

Been going for 6+ months (my girlfriend thinks I should never stop ) Mr Preston has helped me through many issues I've had for the longest and has lead me in the right direction in getting closer to some of my family that I was distant with. Definitely would recommend him in all areas including angry management and stress? My communication with my loved one has grown also.

I've been seeing Greg for nearly a year and he's a wonderful assistant on my road to understanding what's been going on in my life.
He's attentive, does his research, and knows me in and out; rarely does he need to reference his notes to know exactly what I'm referring to when I'm describing my past.
He's both warm and straight-forward at the same time. I can't imagine seeing anyone else. I honestly can't do him justice in this small review. He even allowed me to bring my wife in for her to give her feedback while maintaining strict professionalism in regards to my confidential information.
