Gloria Vanderhorst, PHD
You are looking for the best possible treatment for yourself, your marriage or your family. The success of psychological treatment is an outgrowth of the relationship with your therapist. Because I will be a vital part of the growth for you and your family, I want you to understand how my 30+ years of experience have shaped my approach to treatment. My work with others has taught me that change is possible at any age.
The key to change is appreciating that our brains enjoy neuroplasticity that lets us change at any stage of life. In my experience, adults grow by understanding the early programs of attachment and patterns that have been laid down in their brains. As these early connections are identified, you will begin to appreciate how the brain functions and how to establish new pathways that enable you to change your relationships, perceptions and actions. As you understand these connections, you will be able to choose to change from the inside out. As your therapist, I will help you to practice and experience new ways of thinking and being in relationship. My expertise in Emotion Focused Therapy will enable you to make these changes quickly and efficiently. The connection between mental health, physical health and spiritual health will become evident as you learn how your current thinking and feeling are interwoven.
The result is a more integrated sense of self. In the course of treatment, you may be asked to complete homework in order to practice new ways of thinking and behaving. You may be asked to read different materials to expand your understanding of how your mind works and how relationships function.
My work with children has taught me that early identification and intervention is the ideal and I am passionate about early identification of ADHD, LD and other childhood conditions. Early intervention is the best preventative for later comorbid conditions of these complicated disorders. When working with children and families, I use a team approach that involves the child, parents, teachers and other health care professionals in developing and implementing plans for change.

I am not happy you booked me with a Dr that does not take my insurance
Very unprofessional!!! That is why I went through you and I put my insurance in -why in the world would you have me see a Dr who does not take my insurance? She could charge me $300 for the visit !!! Very disappointed.
March 3, 2025Chantel H.Verified patient
The best therapists I’ve ever seen. I have seen several therapists over the past 25 years and there were plenty of doozies. Gloria offers practical solutions to many of my issues. For some of my more stubborn issues, she did FIS, which helped tremendously. My life has done a 180 degrees from when I started to now. Like the physical body, mental health maintenance requires periodic check ins. I would recommend Gloria to anyone.

Dr. Vanderhorst has been extremely helpful as my husband & I have navigated some tricky terrain in our marriage. She has provided invaluable insight into the dynamics of our relationship and is helping us find ways to move forward in a healthier direction. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone seeking to understand themselves more deeply or desiring change.

I would highly recommend Dr.Gloria Vanderhorst, PhD. The first hour with her was incredibly helpful. she is a good listener and her questions helped me tap into areas I had not allowed myself to talk about before. I came out of our first meeting feeling so empowered.

I just started seeing this doctor about a month ago. She is VERY understanding when I'm stressed with scheduling and within the first few minutes of talking, she can figure a solution to any problem I have. She is very smart and insightful. She has helped me realize a lot of good and bad habits in my life and is helping me become a better version of what my future self will be.

Dr. Vanderhorst showed wonderful insight and compassion with a constructive approach that feels specific to you. She shows great wisdom and this trait is displayed in the specific questions she asks after you have spoken that give you a sense of guidance in addressing your problem(s).

Gloria is a very good therapist - always providing insightful feedback and ways to improve my mindset & outlook on all aspects of life. Just one session with her makes a difference, and regular therapy much more so. I really like her sharpness & directness, she does not beat around the bush.
MMVerified patient
Going through my divorce, I was looking for a therapist/counsellor to help coach me in rebuilding our family relationships, especially with my kids. I had met with a number of psychologists and therapists in the hope of finding someone who could provide advice as a "family coach" but none of them fit the bill until I had the good fortune to be introduced to Dr. Vanderhorst. Gloria has proved to be a sage counsellor and someone whose provided me with invaluable insights and strategies. I heartily recommend her to anyone seeking guidance through the minefield of life.
