My name is Valerie Glass. I have worked as a therapist in a variety of settings for nearly 20 years. I currently hold a doctorate in marriage and family therapy and also work teaching students who are studying to become therapists. I have extensive experience working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and family issues. In addition, I specialize in LGBTQ clients and women's issues.
Clients come to therapy for many different reasons. Some clients need a space to process life changes and challenges. Other clients seek direction and accountability. I meet clients where they are and provide a non-judgmental and collaborative space. I think of therapy as a journey to healing and becoming better - whatever that means to the individual. My role is to really understand where clients are coming from and to support their desired direction.
I am quite humbled by my role as a therapist and the vulnerabilities I see and experience as part of this role. I project an open and honest atmosphere and respect the challenges brought to the space.

Dr. Glass is easy to talk with and a good listener. She recommended views in ways I had not thought about.

Dr. Glass is the third therapist/counselor type person I have seen and she is by far the most compassionate. She makes me feel validated and respected and supported. She’s such a great listener and has provided a variety of tools for me as well as general knowledge on different treatment methods.

Dr. Glass's advice has really helped me deal with a very difficult time I've had with finding boundaries for parenting my young adult son.

Dr. Glass helped me more than I can even describe. When we first started our sessions I was in a very difficult place in my life. She allowed me to talk through all of my issues and gave me non-judgmental and constructive feedback that allowed me to have a more positive and motivated outlook on my situations. While my "crisis" may be over our sessions are a wonderful outlet for the more routine situations and continues to give me a safe place to vent my concerns/frustrations. Thank you!
