My name is Sammy Glenn, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I am licensed in Oregon, WV, Fl, TN, and California. My approach to therapy is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for all of my clients, no matter their experiences.
My approach
CBT is a cornerstone of mental health treatment and the forerunner of many newer modalities. Thoughts, feelings, and actions make sense to us all, and these will be the foundations of our approach.
My focus
I have worked primarily with adults and teenagers in my career, who have struggled with anxiety and depression, family trauma, relationship problems, stress, and other severe mental illnesses.
My communication style
My philosophy is this: "I'll always help, if you'll always try."
My journey to mental healthcare
Like many, my childhood was not a great one, and when choosing a career, I knew it would be in a helping profession, almost becoming a K-8 teacher:-) I have strived to be a buffer for my clients, like those who were buffers in my own childhood, etc.:-)
My goals for you
Goal-setting is collaborative, fluid, and reasonable. An open dialogue between the client and I.
My first session with you
Our goals will be to establish the reasons the client is seeking therapy, and to create a safe environment by displaying therapist competency and willingness to help.
