Greta Spoering (she/her) is the Associate Director and Senior Clinical Services Coordinator within the Office for Gender Equity. In her role, Greta stewards the vision, strategic planning, and programmatic work of SHARE, including advocacy-based counseling to support community members who have been impacted by sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and abusive relationships and discrimination based on gender, as well as restorative practices and supporting prevention education initiatives. 

Greta also provides direct support for community members who have been impacted by violence and harm.

Greta has a decade of prevention education, advocacy, organization affirmative practices, and clinical experience in outpatient community health centers, nonprofit domestic violence/sexual assault organizations, and higher education settings, as well as experience teaching within a master's level Social Work program. Greta is a somatically orientated, trauma-trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming clinician. Much of her work has been informed by Black, Indigenous, and queer scholar-practitioners, from whom she understands that change must occur at systemic, structural, and cultural levels to address the roots of violence.

In her work, Greta considers who is being centered, what people and communities need to be safe and whole, who historically and currently has access to resources, where is power located and how is it distributed, and what is needed to transform at the interpersonal, community, and structural level. She believes in the creative, resilient, and powerful nature of individuals and communities to move toward change and is a healing-centered, somatically-oriented clinician-advocate who understands that trauma can impact the whole body.

Greta is also an adjunct professor at Simmons School of Social Work. Outside of work, she is happiest when she is outdoors, with animals, spending time with people, reading or learning something new, and practicing Ashtanga yoga.
