Greg Seymour, M.A., LPC, MHSP
Before going to graduate school to study marriage and family therapy, Greg and his wife were on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ at several campuses here and abroad. It was during that time of ministry where Greg began to sense a more specific calling to come alongside others who needed help in a family or marriage context. Greg received a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2003, and then in Biblical Studies in 2008 - both from Reformed Theological Seminary. He now focuses his time in several areas. He started a small counseling practice in Chattanooga in 2006 and works with many married couples, parents of teenagers and others who want the freedom and life Jesus speaks of in John 10:10. He serves on two national crisis teams that respond to anything from bank robberies to psychiatric emergencies and helps lead an international disaster response ministry that has taken him to 4 different continents to help with victims of tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. With Pathway, Greg looks forward to working with parents, spouses, young people, individuals and other folks - inviting them to come in and give counseling a try. Greg thinks that just beginning to simply talk about some things is half the entire deal in getting freedom and life back. The other half is being heard, empathized with, given unique guidance and personal challenges by an objective third party who is fighting alongside of you.
