Michelle Glenn, LCSW-C
Therapist
Therapy may be a new experience, and like anything new, it can be an adjustment, but to ease into the sessions, I bring my skills and personality. Yes, the focus is on the work/therapy, but it doesn't mean we can't share a laugh or two during the process. I enjoy laughter and spaces where I can bring my authentic self.
