Testimonials

Below are testimonials and statements written by clients and colleagues who have worked with me (identifying information has been removed to honor their confidentiality):

"Glenn is unique among therapists and I'm glad I've had the good fortune of working with him. He has a natural ability to see where someone is stuck in their lives and then gently assists them into their own freedom. In my case, he pointed out my underlying behavior patterns to me so that I could examine them for myself. I was the one who made great changes in my life and Glenn was the necessary gentle catalyst. It was not easy for me to be objective with myself and to see the whole picture of my life. Glenn has an uncanny skill of sensing what is going on within one and then saying just the right thing at the right time. He has a big heart and it shows in his work. Glenn is the one I will turn to in the future should I require help again in getting my life on track.  I am now living a new life filled with hope and possibilities thanks to the changes I've made as a result of working with Glenn."

"I can’t think of a single person who makes me feel more accepted. You never make me feel like I am thinking about it wrong. The unconditionality just gets me in my core!"

- Client

Thank you for the insightful and interesting workshop. I never really thought of anger as a problem with me in that I seldom get outwardly angry. What I learned was that I do have angry feelings and they can be expressed in ways that are productive, particularly saying that I am angry and why. While I may not even direct such a statement to the person with whom I am upset, it makes sense to deal with the feelings. This insight was profound for me.

-Client & Participant in Embracing Anger Workshop

"'She did not talk to people as if they were strange hard shells she had to crack open to get inside.  She talked as if she were already in the shell.  In their very shell.'  Marita Bonner(1926)   Glenn - I know the gender is wrong but this quote makes me think of you.  You bring such compassion and empathy to the work we do no matter how hard it sometimes gets."

- Former Clinical Supervisor

"I have been in counseling for a few years because of a divorce and midlife crisis. I want to find myself desperately. I had a counselor on the cape and I was noticing she had more anger about my life than I did. When I talked to Glenn about changing to him, I felt safer, more understood and Glenn's style fit me better then my old counselor.  Glenn and I have worked through some emotional things in my life and I find him compassionate and understanding. We have also been through some mistakes on both our parts and have resolved them with grace and support. I appreciate what Glenn adds to my life work with relationships with myself and with others."

- Client

"I just want to appreciate the compassion you have, with the people you work with, who are struggling. I see the same compassion when you are leading a group, with the people who are sharing. I feel it’s a nice balance with me because I can’t express it to the extent that you do. I really appreciate the depth of that in you."

- Colleague

"I find Glenn to be amazing. There are some of us clearly born to do this work and Glenn is truly one of them. I know this because I'm a colleague who has followed his career from the beginning and I have been his professional supervisor for three years. When I listen to Glenn talk about his work as a therapist I can feel his commitment to his clients. I can hear his deep interest in, and genuine caring for his clients. His excitement and curiosity about how his clients lives are evolving is infectious. Just sitting with him is inspiring! I can imagine what it is like for his clients. And if you add real smarts, practical guidance, a full bag of therapeutic skills gleaned over years of experience, a great sense of humor and keen insight then you have a wonderful mix that is Glenn. He is, stated simply, a competent and likable guy whose presence is strong and soothing at the same time. I'd refer my closest relatives and friends to him."
