Glenn is a Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling Association. He is also a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. He owns and operates his own independent and private practice, Chaparral Counselling, and specializes in individual and couple counselling.
Glenn partners with his clients to bring about the changes they would like to make. He often uses a three-stage model to facilitate these changes. First, he carefully explores and helps clients to identify what are the real concerns, issues or problems in their lives (person-centered therapy). Next, he promotes accurate insight into the underlying reasons or root causes for why things are the way they are (psychoanalytic and interpersonal approaches). Finally, he facilitates the expression of new skills and behaviors so that clients can actually have the better life they desire (cognitive-behavioral psychology).
For couple counselling, Glenn uses the research-based model developed by John Gottman. This model allows couples to build a Sound Marital House. In session he also uses Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy. Both of these approaches can bring about significant changes in any committed, long-term relationship.
Glenn has been happily married for 27 years. His wife, Miriam, is his best friend. They have five children.
