Juan Carlos Espinal, LMSW

Dr. Gregory Inzinna is the Founder of ITG and holds a BA in Psychology from Manhattan University, an MS in Applied Psychology, and a PsyD from Long Island University. He takes time to listen and get to know each client, believing meaningful work must be built on a strong therapeutic relationship.

From that foundation, Greg is active in the work with his clients, helping them face what they may otherwise avoid  relationally, emotionally, or cognitively  while believing people are ultimately capable of creating their own change.

Greg specializes in working with clients navigating life satisfaction and motivation challenges, identity development, and relationship problems.

Experience & Specialization

Living life as a neurodivergent individual can be frustrating and even overwhelming for so many reasons. You might feel out of step with the world around you, that other people don’t understand the world like you do. Why don’t people just say what they mean? Why can’t people respect your process just because it’s different? Why can’t you feel more at peace with your body, mind, and senses? Our minds are vibrant tapestries, full of color and complexity, and yet, often, we find ourselves wrestling with a world not designed for our unique patterns. Even after years of learning to think and act like others, you might still find yourself feeling out of place or like you’re not able to be your truest self around others. It can be exhausting putting on a mask all the time! The constant need to adapt, the feeling of being misunderstood, and the search for a space where you can be your true self is a path you need not walk alone.

My journey as an ADHD professional coupled with my experience working with a spectrum of neurodivergent individuals allows my practice to offer a safe haven for exploration and growth. I also offer testing and assessment for those who have gone undiagnosed, and my unique perspective as both a professional and member of the community equips me to accurately diagnose even the most masked of neurodivergent individuals. I understand the nuances of neurodivergence and am committed to helping you explore and celebrate your unique mind. If you've been seeking a space where you are not just seen, but truly understood, then let this be your invitation. If you seek guidance from someone who not only empathizes but also embodies these experiences, let's connect. Together, we can chart a path towards embracing and nurturing your neurodivergent identity. Let's take that step together.

Treatment

Together, we can explore your individual experiences as well as your unique way of interacting with the world, and you can know that as a member of this community I will understand your experiences where others have failed to. In our sessions, we will explore your past to better understand how your early experiences have shaped you, and by exploring these experiences we can help you unravel the knots difficult experiences might have left you with. I use a Psychodynamic approach which will help process and overcome common struggles surrounding Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), socializing, and even anxiety/depression; I also use mindfulness/somatic approaches to help cope with difficulties surrounding over/understimulation, sensory difficulties, and intense emotions. This process is not about changing who you are but rather overcoming your weaknesses and harnessing your unique strengths - your genuineness, directness, creativity, hyperfixations, passion, sense of justice, empathy, and adaptability. Beyond traditional approaches, my firsthand experience of neurodivergence informs our sessions alongside my professional expertise, ensuring a space where your unique mind is deeply understood and valued. Ready to embrace your neurodivergent identity? Let’s embark on this transformative path together.
