Hello! I am Glenda Dillingham, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I have been practicing for over 30 years, helping empower clients to thrive in spite of adversity. I specialize in helping survivors of trauma to heal.

As a therapist I have a genuine interest in humans and human behavior. I have been in the Mental Health Field since 2006. I have had multiple experiences that has helped me to be aware of problems that individuals may face today. I use CBT, SFT, and other Modalities using a humanistic approach to understand and guide you. I accept you as you are and will guide you with all training and experiences as the backdrop. I believe that life is a journey with many surprises.

I arrive as a human first, therapist second. I consider myself a deeply attuned feeler and a lover of animals. My personal process deeply influences my process as a psychotherapist. Navigating complex trauma, navigating the world as a deep feeler, and returning to being in my body are core processes where I have transmuted pain into spaciousness.
