Chris Greer | Recover Successfully From Addiction And Trauma & Having Faith In The Process

Welcome to the⁠⁠ @hope2hustle podcast! I'm your host Cheree Ashley and I converse with others to share stories of Uncut Gems. In this episode enjoy my sit-down with the kind and compassionate Chris Greer and special guest cohost Will Harris. Christopher Greer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Santa Cruz CA, currently working full-time in the private practice setting. Christopher earned a Certificate in Addiction Studies and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from William Jessup University. He then went on and earned a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California. Christopher’s focus of work is providing support for individuals and families struggling with substance use disorders, and individuals with histories of trauma. His private practice work is informed by his prior experience working at a local non-profit for 4 years. In the non-profit setting, he facilitated DUI and Outpatient groups before moving into providing varying levels of support for people that were either currently incarcerated or recently incarcerated.
