About Gregory Helton, M.D.

The mind has always fascinated Dr. Helton. Caring for people with mindcare conditions is the greatest way he positively impacts his community and society. When working with patients, he takes the time to get to know each person as an individual, while trying to understand the underlying root causes of their problems. His objective is to work with patients to help them better understand themselves and to help relieve their suffering. Prioritizing strong relationships with his patients as the primary mode of healing, Gregory draws from knowledge gained through psychoanalytic training. He believes in and is inspired by David Berceli’s statement that “all humans have an innate capacity to heal from traumatic experiences.”

    I always feel consistently met where I am at in a way that feels cautious, deliberate, professional, responsible and safe-keeping from a health perspective consistently with Dr. Gregory Helton. He does whatever he can to benefit in common sense ways and also does a lot of good with very simple and direct methodologies for what to say and when to say it or say nothing to what can erupt in a thirty check-in when it's been three months, that I find outstanding from an objective mental health worker evaluation perspective, and extremely helpful personally.

    Everyone is so compassionate and takes time to talk to me when I call; when I m going through a hard time that makes a massive difference. I have actually already made recommendations and I know of at least one person who now goes to MindPath. Dr. Helton has really been so kind to me. Your receptionists are so kind and act like I m the only one they are helping when I m sure they have other calls on hold.

    I trust Dr Helton, I believe he is smart, well educated in Psychiatric Care and Medicine. I believe if I had seen him during the worst of times, my worst of times would not have lasted as long, my suffering and feelings of despair would have been to lesser degrees. I would have learned "cognitive" skills.

    I have dealt with mental illness for 25 yrs & have had several psychiatrists. None seemed to truly care about understand issues and med management like he does. He really listens. He shares his rational. Adding another med is rarely needed cause he listens to where I am coming from & encourages my input. Absolute best & simplest of all is that he is prompt at responding when am not doing well during sessions. Thank you for letting me express how highly & blessed I am he is my psychiatrist!!
