Gladys Seedorf

My communication style

My style is gentle but direct. I will always listen intently to the client and act as a sounding board for them as well as offer suggestions and things that may or may not want to consider.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began as a young child watching my mother, who was a very warm and friendly person who took an interest in people from all walks of life. I started out working with developmentally disabled adults and then moved on to advocating for clients in the medical home and hospice field. I grew tired of traveling and opened my own practice.

My goals for you

I encourage patient's set individual goals that can be mastered in small steps. I review the tools that the client brings and then add more tools that strengthen the already existing ones so that they can be reached. The client will decide what tools have worked in the past and or what have not. Together, we will build a strong foundation.

Our first session

All sessions are very relaxing and non-threatening. I will begin the clinical assessment where I gather information about family history, medical history, traumas, etc., but most of the time will be spent on answering any questions that the client has about me and or the follow up sessions.
