Mara Glenn, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mara!

I am here to support you in navigating life's challenges and uncertainties. You don't have to face your struggles alone. I will walk beside you on your journey of personal growth, empowering you to live as your most authentic self.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, domestic violence, grief, personality disorders, relationship issues, self-esteem, self-harm, sexual abuse, stress, substance use, suicidal ideation, trauma, PTSD, and anger management.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is tailored to your unique needs, remaining person-centered and strength-based through our collaborative relationship. I believe you are the expert of your own life. Together, we will explore the root causes and issues that may be causing you distress, helping you gain valuable insights and work towards positive change.

My communication style

Communication is key in our therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a non-judgmental, empathetic, and empowering space where you feel comfortable being vulnerable, open, and honest. Through our collaborative dialogue, we will work together to help you achieve your goals and create meaningful change in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered this field driven by a deep commitment to helping others navigate their most difficult moments. My experiences have taught me the profound impact of compassionate, individualized care, and I bring that understanding to every session with the clients I serve.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the tools, insights, and self-awareness needed to overcome challenges, heal from past wounds, and build a more fulfilling life. I am committed to supporting you in developing healthy coping mechanisms, improving your relationships, and enhancing your overall well-being.

Our first session

During our first session, we will focus on creating a safe and comfortable space for you to share your story. I will listen attentively and ask questions to better understand your unique experiences, challenges, and goals. We will discuss your expectations for therapy and collaboratively develop a plan tailored to your needs.
