About Me

Gregory M. Tilden, LMFT 125005

Two of my greatest values throughout my life have been the cultivation of wisdom, and finding ways to translate the wisdoms of personal experience into forms of healing for the world around us.

This quest has granted me the gift & responsibility of working as a psychotherapist.  Growing up, I spent lots of time in my imagination; a safe haven from the confusing world around me as a child. As both an adoptee and a survivor of abuse as a child, I have the lived experience of learning how to grow and make meaning out of challenging situations, without giving up.

For most of my life, I've been a musician. As a classically-trained trumpet player, I've developed an ear for the subtleties of emotion often conveyed through music. Contrastingly, growing up in the Connecticut punk & hardcore scene also taught me a lot about the importance of challenging unhelpful norms, prioritizing both individual expression and community engagement, and understanding my values & how to use my voice.​

​

In my work, I value developing a supportive, collaborative relationship with my clients, thereby opening a space for healing. From this safe place, we co-create client goals, explore the effects of trauma, find space for emotions needing to be heard, and navigate together through the process of psychotherapy.

​

In my spare time, I enjoy making music, taking care of my body, painting, spending time with loved ones, making food, hiking, and playing board games.
