Hi, I’m Glenn Permar — a therapist, former school counselor, and U.S. Air Force veteran. I help teens and adults who feel mentally overloaded, anxious, or scattered find more steadiness, focus, and calm in their daily lives.

Many of the people I work with describe their minds as always “on” — juggling ideas, worries, and to-do lists that never seem to end. Whether it’s anxiety, ADHD, or burnout, that constant pressure can make life feel exhausting. Together, we slow things down and find what I call your “steady middle” — that balanced space between feeling overworked and feeling stuck, where your mind feels alert but grounded.

My approach combines evidence-based tools like CBT and mindfulness with a down-to-earth, collaborative style. You won’t find judgment or jargon here — just real conversation, practical strategies, and space to understand what your stress is trying to tell you.

Before becoming a therapist, I served in the Air Force and later worked as a school counselor and Social Emotional Learning Specialist during the pandemic. Those experiences shaped how I help people manage stress, build emotional resilience, and move through life with more confidence and calm.

If you’re ready to understand your mind, manage stress in ways that actually work, and create more balance in your life, I’d be honored to work with you.

I specialize in trauma therapy for adults, with extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual violence and other traumatic experiences. If you’ve been through something overwhelming, it can feel like a fog has settled over you, affecting every part of your life. You might find yourself overthinking, being on edge, shutting down, or feeling numb, even when you want to feel present and connected. Many people I work with feel stuck in this space and are unsure how to move forward. Together, we’ll work to understand and process your emotions, thoughts, and past experiences so they no longer hold the same power over you.

Mary Jackson

Mary Jackson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Grand Junction, CO


I began this journey just seeking to learn about psychology and the nature of human behavior. The more I learned, the more I became fascinated with how resilient humans are in the face of significant challenges. However, what I found was that people will continue to live with underlying pain, because of the stigma previously put on people seeking help with mental health and trauma issues. I found that people created their own ways of coping and it often involved creating more harm. I knew at this time that I wanted to help people begin to face tough emotions and move toward healing the emotional pain.

I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology in 1991 and a Master of Science Degree in General Psychology in 1993 from Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, KS. I later went back for another Master of Science Degree in Counseling Psychology from Avila University in Kansas City, MO in 2014.

I have worked in the areas of domestic violence, at-risk youth, at-risk families, foster and adoption, and addiction. I specialize in working with trauma and addiction.
