WHO IS CARL H GREGORY?
I am an author, speaker, applied identity researcher, behavioral strategist, and trauma therapist. Over 30 years of combined first responder service and high-stress leadership experience, strengthened by a clinical trauma therapy perspective. I am the creator of The Theory of You©, a trauma-informed framework for identity resilience and behavioral change, and the author of It’s a You Problem©, a raw, unapologetic blueprint for radical self-leadership.
“Sometimes the fight isn’t the crash, it’s the silence after.”

MY JOURNEY HERE
Before becoming a therapist, I spent decades serving as a first responder across several platforms, performing key roles in leading critical incidents, and operating in high-stakes environments where decisions carried immediate, life-and-death consequences. Those years developed a no-flinch mindset and a deep understanding of what it takes to act decisively under extreme pressure. My transition into advanced trauma therapy added neuroscience, psychology, and clinical insight to match my field experience, allowing me to bridge the worlds of lived crisis leadership and evidence-based change. With my experience and clinical background as an Advanced Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist (ACCTS), Certified in Neuropsychotherapy (NPT-C), trained in EMDR, CPT, PE, MI, SFT, CBT, DBT, and ACT, I apply psychological insights to empower individuals, professionals, and organizations to master decision-making in today’s fast-paced world, stay present, and see any challenge as manageable.

I'm clinically trained, currently active in the trauma community, and have a background in real-world high-stakes environments, which separates me from many others. I hold a doctorate degree in Emergency Management (ABD), a master’s degree in Counseling, and an undergraduate degree in Administration of Justice. I am certified at the highest levels by FEMA, a recipient of numerous government awards, and recognized by multiple agencies for my expertise. The uniqueness of my experience and clinical training gives me depth to confront where others just motivate.

"Resilience isn’t bouncing back. It’s standing up bloody and saying, ‘I’m still here.”
