Si estás cargando algo que se siente demasiado pesado para seguir llevando solo, o simplemente buscas un espacio donde puedas hablar con honestidad sin ser juzgado, puedo ayudarte. Mi camino hacia la terapia nació de una profunda curiosidad por la resiliencia humana y del deseo genuino de acompañar a las personas en sus momentos más difíciles. Durante mi formación de posgrado trabajé con sobrevivientes de trauma, una experiencia que me mostró el poder transformador de la terapia y que fortaleció mi compromiso de caminar junto a otros en sus procesos de sanación. Soy LMHC con mas de 20 años ofreciendo terapia.

Hello, I’m Glenda G. Momrelle-Clarke, LMHC-D, LPC, a licensed mental health counselor, educator, and Clinical Director of Soul Discovery Mental Health Counseling Services. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, families, and leaders navigate life's challenges while fostering emotional wellness, personal growth, and meaningful change.

With experience in clinical practice, leadership development, education, and faith-based communities, I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and emotional regulation. My approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and strengths-based interventions to support each client's unique needs.

I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop practical skills, and move toward the life they desire. Whether you are seeking support for personal challenges, relationship difficulties, or leadership-related stress, I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey toward greater wellness and resilience.

Do you feel unsettled or that you're not where you want to be in life? Maybe you’re wondering if you’ll ever be a “good enough” partner, wife, mother, friend, or just good enough, in general. Or you’re faced with an important life decision like marriage, a new job, or whether or not to have a baby. You can’t really put your finger on why these decisions are so hard for you and that keeps you stuck and feeling anxious all the time. You have a hard time trusting your gut or listening to that quiet voice inside you that’s telling you something’s not right.


Thoughts and feelings like these can be so upsetting. And yet they are very common among women. That’s where I come in. I work with women just like you who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and perinatal issues such as postpartum depression. I offer a safe, non judgmental space to explore these feelings and get relief.


Learn ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings and achieve the life you want for yourself. Sessions are exclusively online. You can receive the help in the privacy and comfort of a setting of your choosing. Online counseling is great for caregivers, busy professionals, those with health issues, or anyone who wants the flexibility telehealth offers.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Virginia


As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from Walden University, I am deeply passionate about delivering patient-centered care and committed to advocating for individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. With over eight years of experience working with patients, families, and communities affected by mental illness, I have developed a profound understanding of the importance of compassionate and individualized care.

My professional journey began as a registered nurse, where I came to realize that mental illness is no respecter of person, age, color, or social status. This experience reinforced my belief that every individual facing mental health challenges deserves a patient-centered, personalized, and holistic approach to their care.

As a PMHNP, my goal is to serve as a source of strength and support through active listening, empathy, and compassion. I strive to provide an evidence-based approach tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring that every individual feels heard, valued, and empowered on their path to wellness.
