Areas of Expertise
For Neurodivergent Clients
We specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals by creating therapy spaces that feel comfortable, accessible, and empowering.

For BIPOC Clients
At Glimmer Counseling, we believe in the power of embracing your full identity—both within and outside of societal expectations. We provide a space where your racial, ethnic, and cultural background is honored, and where you can explore how those aspects shape your mental health and well-being.
For those who are LGBTQIA+
We are deeply committed to supporting people of all gender and sexual identities. Whether you’re questioning, transitioning, or simply need space to explore your true self, we honor your experiences and offer support rooted in affirmation, respect, and advocacy.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER!
Are you ready to begin your healing journey?
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you don’t always see yourself represented. At Glimmer Counseling, we understand the unique challenges that come with living in a world that doesn’t always accommodate your identity or lived experiences.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, or simply trying to make sense of your emotions and experiences, we are here to offer a safe, supportive space where you are fully understood. We specialize in working with individuals who hold diverse racial, gender, and neurologic identities, and we’re committed to helping you embrace your full, authentic self.
Reach out today to schedule a consultation and begin a journey that honors your individuality, values your voice, and supports your well-being in a space where you truly belong.
A Safe Place for Growth
At Glimmer Counseling, we strive to be the opposite of a trigger. Triggers can activate the body’s fight-or-flight or freeze responses, leaving us feeling unsafe, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Our mission is to create a space where you can feel seen, heard, and safe—a place where your nervous system can shift into a more grounded and regulated state. Here, we are committed to compassionate, trauma-informed care that promotes emotional safety and healing. Whether you’re navigating challenges related to identity, mental health, or past trauma, we are here to help you restore a sense of connection and trust in yourself and the world around you.

Land Acknowledgement
We respectfully acknowledge that the land on which Glimmer Counseling operates is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Odawa, Potawatomi, and Miami peoples. These communities have stewarded this land for centuries, and we honor their enduring relationship with the land, water, and all living beings. We recognize the painful legacy of settler colonialism and the ongoing impact of displacement on Indigenous communities. As we work in this space, we are committed to learning, listening, and contributing to healing in ways that honor and uplift the voices and traditions of Indigenous peoples.
