The motto in Greer is “A Great Place to Live, Work, and Play,” and the citizens in town will agree with this claim. Named for James Manning Greer, who settled in the area with his family back in 1764. Their sports programs are legendary, with champion Little League teams, the site of the American Legion World Series, and many various parks and stadiums in town. In fact, they have been awarded the South Carolina Recreation and Parks Agency of the Year twice. 

If you usually like sports but suddenly you find you have no interest in it anymore, you may have a condition called depression. If you believe that you have this or any other mental health condition, talk to one of the Greer therapists or counselors today.

Hello! I am a mental health counselor, licensed in South Carolina for seventeen years. My unique approach to counseling combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (ET), and Positive Psychology. I earned an MA from LaSalle University and a Ph.D. from Loyola University in Maryland, both in mental counseling and spirituality. During my Ph.D. studies, I secured an Externship at the Duke University Medical Center. The first requirement for counseling is that the client feels safe in an environment that enables positive motion toward to improve their quality of life. I have unconditional acceptance for my clients within this positive environment. Solutions to our puzzling problems are often right in front of us. However, emotions such as anxiety and depression can block us from accessing the answers we long to find. I assist my clients in increasing self-awareness of their feelings until they are comfortable enough to become relaxed and peaceful. The clients' self-confidence grows, and they share their thoughts, new perceptions, and ways they may want to change behaviors. I look forward to working with you! Patricia F Frisch, Ph.D., LPC

I have been in the mental health profession for over 10 years. I've worked in the school setting as a school counselor and within the community as a behavioral specialist providing behavioral modification to families. I have also provided individual and group therapy in homes. I have informed parents of various community supports such as Family Connections and Developmental Pediatrics to help them with getting special education services in place for their children with special needs. I've worked with these children on their social skills, independent living skills, and self-esteem. Being a mom of a child with special needs helps in my understanding of the frustration that these children with special needs and their parents face daily. As a client-focused therapist who works with teens and adults of various ages, I believe in listening attentively to my clients and assisting them in finding their solutions to their issues. I feel that we all have the power to transform ourselves by learning ways to change our negative thoughts and actions into positive thoughts and actions. I encourage my clients to use techniques such as positive self-talk, mindfulness and journaling to help facilitate these changes. Because clients have to be willing to put in the work towards healing, I remind them of that by modeling and illustrating these techniques for them. I will provide an environment that is not judgmental with understanding. I will also evaluate clients for any type of self-harm behaviors. I understand that sometimes clients just need to talk, to feel understood and know that it is okay not feel okay. This is especially crucial for individuals to realize in these times because of the pandemic, which has more people dealing with depression, trying to find a balance in life, and re-examining their place in this world.
