WHO IS ED GREEN?
Psychotherapist.
Coach. Author. Healer.
Ed Green is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Psychotherapist, Author, Workshop Leader, Speaker, martial arts Master and instructor, and Vietnam veteran. For over two decades, he has dedicated his career to helping individuals, couples, and organizations break free from the illusions and patterns that hold them back.
Ed's approach is uniquely rooted in three disciplines that share the same core purpose: Psychotherapy, which heals the mind; Martial Arts, which disciplines the body; and A Course in Miracles (ACIM), which awakens the spirit. Together, they form the foundation of his transformational practice.
He is the author of Escape from Insanity: Illusions and Lies — a book that synthesizes these three disciplines into a powerful, accessible roadmap for healing and personal transformation.
"My work is about helping people find the crack within themselves — and using it to set free the partner holding them back."
— ED GREEN, LCSW

ED'S PHILOSOPHY
Healing the Whole Person
Ed's philosophy is built on a profound realization: that psychotherapy, martial arts, and A Course in Miracles all point toward the same destination — the healing and wholeness of the complete person.
Psychotherapy heals the mind through understanding, insight, and evidence-based techniques. Martial arts disciplines the body and builds character through practice, perseverance, and self-mastery. A Course in Miracles awakens the spirit by revealing the love and truth that lie beyond fear and illusion.
Ed has lived all three. And through living them, he discovered that transformation is not just possible — it is our natural state, waiting to be returned to.
"Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take the step."
— ED GREEN, LCSW
