Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I am passionate about serving the LGBT community, for professional and personal reasons. I am attuned to the societal challenges faced by people who have been historically and socio-politically "othered" by society, and feel alert to the particular types of relational trauma experienced by those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, and gender-fluid.
