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):

I stumbled across Glenn’s website during a low point in my life and was particularly intrigued by the range of topics that were covered. I found the hypnosis to be invaluable and more helpful than years of previous therapy. I was able to effortlessly quit smoking and let go of a life-long obsession with body image. Through talk therapy, Glenn helped me to gain a new perspective on relationship issues I was having and look at some faulty belief systems that I held. His approach is non-threatening and one of compassion, knowledge and understanding. The work we did together was invaluable. I highly recommend him.

I’ve noticed a change since having a hypnotherapy session with Glenn. One of the things I'm trying to accomplish is to have a closer connection with a family member. Since our last session I feel like my way of being around this family member has changed and feel like I’m making progress with them. I also feel like this change in the way I’m being is carrying over to other things in my life as well.

When Glenn first mentioned last January that he was adding hypnotherapy to his practice, I was skeptical. I associated hypnosis with quack healers, parlor games, and smarmy stage acts.  I had a lot of misconceptions: that the subject loses control of their behavior, that they are bound to absorb whatever suggestions are made by the hypnotist, without making a choice. But I trust Glenn, so I decided to give hypnosis a try. Under hypnosis, I learned I was always at choice and could access significant memories long forgotten.  The insights gleaned from these recovered memories have enabled me to put aside behaviors that are no longer beneficial.  Suggestions made during our sessions, if I chose to accept them, have been helpful to me in maintaining my focus on personal goals.  I’ve come to regard hypnotherapy as an adventure, as I often don’t know where I’ll wind up during a particular session.  Our hypnosis sessions have benefited me so greatly, that I’ve now begun to write poetry (the first serious writing I’ve done since college in the 1970’s). I’ve also started work on a novel.  When I first started working with Glenn 2+ years ago, I was overwhelmed, exhausted, grief-stricken and STUCK.  Today, I’m feeling the first true happiness I’ve felt in many years, reclaiming my creativity, and establishing richer connections with friends and family.  I gladly and wholeheartedly recommend Glenn as a gifted, creative and compassionate hypnotherapist.

"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."

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.

"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!"

"'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 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."

Wow! The self-hypnosis workshop was incredibly powerful! I am so amazed that so much information and practice was packed into two hours! I left with the most amazing feeling of calm, centeredness that pervaded for my entire night. Right away at home after leaving the workshop I felt a direct flow of insights from my place of "inner knowing".
I am writing this on the next day and I have already used the self-hypnosis technique for three two minute sessions of hypnosis, and it's working! This tool could not have come at a more needed time for me as I have felt frustrated that I could not make faster progress in changing my "inner stories" with talk therapy alone. I realize now that I need to bypass my conscious mind and access my subconscious directly.
The techniques we learned during the workshop are simple yet powerful! Glenn has an excellent ability to lead you through this work. He creates a safe, comfortable environment and fully explains how hypnotherapy works. He then personalizes the hypnosis for each of the participants and guides you through several practices to ensure that you walk out of the workshop with the techniques in place. Glenn also provided each of us with clear written directions and an audio CD to use in order to deepen the practice. Wow! I am incredibly impressed with the potential of this tool. I believe that I have found the next crucial piece in my journey towards self empowerment and happiness!

"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."
