Getting to know Chiya Glenn
Hi, I’m Chiya, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 10 years of experience supporting adults, teens, couples, and families.
My style is warm, honest, down-to-earth, and trauma-informed. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be real, laugh when you need to, ask hard questions, and talk honestly about what is happening in your life. I will support you, but I will also thoughtfully challenge you when that can help you grow.
I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and family concerns, burnout, life transitions, caregiving stress, prenatal and postpartum mental health, cultural identity, and recovery from difficult or unsafe relationships. I also enjoy working with Black women, women of color, LGBTQ+ clients, young professionals, high-achievers, caregivers, and people trying to reconnect with themselves after carrying too much for too long.
As a Black woman, mom, and clinician with years in the field, I understand that mental health is often connected to culture, family expectations, identity, relationships, work, and the pressure to keep going even when you are exhausted. I bring cultural humility and curiosity into every session and want you to feel that the parts of your identity that matter to you have room in therapy.
My approach may include CBT, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and practical tools you can use outside of session. I tailor our work to your goals rather than expecting you to fit one particular approach.
When I’m not providing care, I enjoy traveling, spending time with loved ones, fashion and beauty, music and dance, creative outlets, and being near the water.
Whether you are in the middle of a crisis, healing from the past, navigating a major change, or simply feeling stuck, we can start with where you are and work toward where you want to be.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You do not have to come into therapy with everything figured out.
Sometimes the starting point is simply, “I don’t feel like myself,” “I’m tired,” “I’m overwhelmed,” or “I know something needs to change.” That is enough.
Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and judgment-free. You are the expert on your life. My role is to listen closely, help you make sense of what is happening, offer perspective, and support you in finding tools that actually fit your life.
I am warm and supportive, but I am also direct. I believe growth sometimes comes from feeling deeply understood and sometimes from being gently challenged to look at a pattern, choice, or relationship differently.
If trauma is part of your story, we will not rush. We will focus on safety, trust, and helping you feel more grounded before going into anything you are not ready to explore.
Your culture, identity, family background, relationships, and lived experiences matter. I bring cultural humility into every session and make room for the values, expectations, and communities that have shaped you.
I work with adults, teens, couples, and families, so when it is helpful, therapy can also include the people and relationships that matter most in your life.
I also believe therapy should help outside of the session. Along with deeper emotional work, we may focus on communication, boundaries, coping skills, emotional regulation, and practical strategies you can use in everyday life.
You do not need the perfect words to begin. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and supported from our first conversation—and to leave knowing we have a real direction forward.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We begin by getting clear on what is bringing you to therapy, what is happening in your life right now, what patterns or stressors keep showing up, and what you want to change.
From there, we create a plan together with clear, realistic goals that reflect what matters most to you. I like therapy to have direction, so we will identify what we are working toward and how we will know when things are improving.
Our ongoing sessions balance reflection with accountability. We may spend time understanding emotions, relationships, past experiences, or patterns, and we will also look at what you can practice, change, or try between sessions. I may use CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, psychoeducation, and practical strategies for communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, stress, and relationships.
I believe progress comes from both insight and action. I will support you, ask thoughtful questions, and also help you stay connected to the goals you said matter to you. That may mean checking in on a boundary you wanted to set, a conversation you planned to have, a coping skill you were practicing, or a pattern you were working to interrupt.
We will also pay attention to what is happening in real time. If something new comes up in your life, we can adjust the focus and make room for it while still keeping sight of your larger goals.
With diverse couples and families, I focus on helping everyone slow down, communicate more clearly, understand the patterns underneath conflict, and practice new ways of responding to one another.
We will check in regularly on what is working, what feels stuck, and what needs to shift. As your needs change, the plan can change too.
If additional support would help, such as a psychiatric evaluation, community resources, or coordination with another provider, I can help connect those pieces with your permission.
As you make progress, we focus on strengthening the skills, confidence, and consistency that help you.
