Personal Introduction

Hi, I’m Greg Norris, a dual-certified FNP-C and PMHNP-BC dedicated to providing holistic, patient-centered care. My journey to becoming a mental health provider has been anything but traditional and it’s shaped how I listen and support my patients today.

Professional Path

After becoming a nurse in 2004, I specialized in neurology and neurosurgery, obtaining advanced certifications. Later, I earned my FNP certification (2012) and worked in neurosurgery, focusing on degenerative spine conditions and neuro-oncology. In pain management, I discovered the critical gap in addressing mental health for patients with chronic pain, inspiring me to earn my PMHNP certification.

What Sets Me Apart

At The Listening NP, I take an integrative approach, blending my expertise as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) to care for both your physical and emotional well-being.

Chronic pain isn’t just a physical issue—it’s influenced by how your brain and body communicate. When pain persists, the nervous system can become stuck in a cycle of heightened sensitivity, amplifying discomfort even without ongoing injury. Together, we’ll explore both traditional treatments—like physical therapy, massage, and injections—along with the mind-body connection, addressing how fear, stress, and past experiences can keep pain circuits active.

By understanding these connections, we can begin to rewire those patterns, helping your body and mind find relief. Healing is possible, and I’m here to listen and guide you every step of the way.

A Personal Note

Outside of work, I’m a family man who enjoys cycling, hiking, and exploring the outdoors. Raised in Alaska, I bring a down-to-earth perspective to everything I do.
