Hello, I am so glad you have found your way here. I am Mandi Glaser, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a specialization in Art Therapy. My goal is to support you in creating the life you want for yourself.
My approach
I use an eclectic approach to find the tools that are the best fit for each unique client and situation. I draw from evidence-based techniques such as CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, and Expressive Therapy. I work with each client to clarify their goals and future vision for themselves. This may include addressing areas of employment, communication skills, relationships, managing emotions, stress, or self-identity.
My focus
I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-identity, stress management, trauma recovery, negative thinking, ADHD, or Autism.
My communication style
Sessions are relaxed, friendly and conversational. Sometimes we sit with heavy emotions and sometimes we laugh. If you are open to it we can use creative expression to help further our therapeutic exploration.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was first introduced to art therapy in high school and was so excited by the idea of different ways to communicate emotional experiences that this exploration became my passion. Additionally, I believe everyone needs a cheerleader at times in their life. Someone who helps them see their strengths and celebrates their wins. I am honored to get to be that person.
My goals for you
We began by envisioning the life you would like to experience. We then work from there to identify what is needed to create that vision. We will next define the steps needed to progress toward that goal and how we will approach each one.
My first session with you
I will ask you questions to gather information about your life experiences, wishes, struggles, and strengths. I will actively listen as you share about yourself to help me get to know who you are.
