Hello,
Therapy is a process of opening up about your life experiences, relationships, and your innermost thoughts and feelings. Your experiences are unique to you. How you view them and their impact on you can influence your actions and decisions. My goal as your therapist is to start where you are understanding that you are the expert of your life. Working collaboratively, we will address the issues and challenges you are facing in order to bring about successful and lasting change.
I have extensive experience working with and counseling adults, couples and families. I earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Wayne State University and I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in the State of Michigan. I have a Ph.D in Human Services, specializing in Family Studies and Intervention Strategies. Employing the role of advocate, collaborator, and guide, I seek to support my clients in overcoming their fears and anxieties and champion their efforts to effect positive changes and stability in their lives.
I use strength-based, solution focused, and person-centered therapy in my approach to aide individuals in identifying and working towards therapy goals. I look forward to working with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Irena Glover. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Had an immediate feeling of comfortable understanding. Haven’t felt that way about any help I’ve had before. Look forward to working through all my issues with her by my side.

It is my great pleasure to recommend Dr. Glover, she is a diamond in the rust! I am so truly blessed that I was paired with her after having gone through a handful of therapists, she is very action-oriented and she always checks on me to make sure that I'm okay and she is very on top of her game.
She's helped with my self-esteem, a death I had in the family and more recently a financial loss. She was supportive, understanding and I just really love how results-oriented she is. I'm so so truly grateful and I know that she will continue to help me and more people.

Dr. Glover is an excellent, empathetic counselor. She is always very present and listens to my needs, and responds with great solutions and coping mechanisms. I've found that I have made a lot of personal growth in the short few months I have been working with her, and feel better than ever. I cannot recommend her enough!
