GREG TISSI, LPC

(He/Him)

As a St. Louis born, Mizzou Psychology undergrad, and an UMSL Counseling postgrad, Greg’s journey started and returned here. Greg knew he needed far more education about the world we live in, the people who live here, and his role in it all which led to rock climbing, which led to becoming an outdoor professional. This combined with his early experience in therapy led him to combine his two favorite things: the natural world and the potent powers of psychotherapy.

When he’s not in session, Greg fills his free time with cycling, packrafting, flyfishing, rock climbing, birding, caving, hiking, and digging his toes into the grass. As well, his "indoor cat" hobby is cooking, especially after traveling by bicycle to over 20 countries during the last decade, in search of authentic cuisine and the kind of education only traveling can offer. Greg is grateful for his past, resides in the present, and understands that the future is a mystery.
