Psychotherapy
Therapy provides a safe space to heal from the past, connect to your inner wisdom, and transform your life.
Your healing and self-discovery are very personal processes. Research shows that coming to therapy on a regular, consistent basis is most effective for change to occur.

Current RateS:
I believe in the efficacy of therapy and wish to support people willing to invest in their wellness.

My goal is to ensure mental health support is accessible to those who want/need it. I do have a limited sliding scale for those in need. It can be discussed during our consultation. A free consultation is required before booking a session to ensure that Glenda is a good fit to meet your needs in therapy.
Insurance:
Many insurance companies cover psychotherapy. If yours does, you can submit your receipt for reimbursement. I do not, at this time, offer direct billing. Please check your insurance coverage as different plans cover different services.
The Wisdom of Our Bodies
Our Inner Sense of Self/Soul/Spirit/Higher Power/Daimon is grace/calm/peace. Then it is placed in the human body. Through our human experiences, we develop strategies to cope, adapt, and survive. And many of these strategies add layers and layers between our Self and the outer world to protect it from the harshness of life's challenges.
Often Self can be obscured from even our own knowing until the layers become unravelled. When our Mind and our Body and our Self come into alignment and we move in this world as one (even for moments at a time) - this is embodiment.
This is freedom.
Peace becomes the way.
Contemplative Wisdom
A contemplative approach to psychotherapy asks us to start to examine how we feel, what we notice, and what this means for us in the here and now. With additional psycho-dynamic and somatic-based techniques, the energy in our bodies is given space to be felt, moved, and released.
Can clients become the compassionate support that they need to heal their wounds and create a meaningful, happy and healthy life?
Glenda’s approach is based on the core values of curiousity, compassion, calm, connection, and courage. She offers a non-judgmental, safe space to explore the deep caverns of your inner psyche so you can become aware of your patterns, heal from your past, and create sustainable change in your life in the present.
