"I wasn’t sure couples counseling would help our situation, but I am very happy that we went. Our therapist, Glenn was patient and understanding and listened to both my husband and me. He made me feel relaxed and able to share my thoughts and emotions. This was only our first visit however I feel he helped us address or conflicts and struggles with insightful questions. I am so grateful he has given me hope in restoring our relationship."
"I have been in therapy for most of my life. As an adult fellow clinician, I am grateful to have the ability to appreciate true quality in a therapist. Glenn is a combination of everything one could ask for in a therapist. He is compassionate, non-judgmental, clinically skilled, experienced, and has an innate ability to validate one's feelings while gently guiding alternative perspectives on how to better one's quality of life. He is the BEST of the BEST!"
