Getting to know M L Gladney
Hello, I'm M.L. I believe that as humans, we all want something similar: to feel normal. We want, desire, and try our best to feel like everyone else. Yet, simultaneously, we desire to be unique, special, and individualistic. I believe it is necessary to think of humans as puzzle pieces in order to fulfill both. While the pieces share the same geographical space and have the same manufacturer, they are unique and serve varying purposes. Do you belong at the top but are content being a side piece? Are you on the bottom when you were meant to be at the center of it all? Let's collaborate and find out where you belong. You may discover the only thing wrong was where you, as a puzzle piece, tried to fit in.
In therapy, I collaborate with the expert on the client—you—to identify obstacles and develop strategies for working toward your goals. I do this by first remaining curious about you as a client and your perspective on the issue. I serve to remind clients that everything in life does not have to feel good in order to end with good results.
You can't fix something that you don’t see. In a world of selfies, no one is willing to look at any angle that doesn’t compliment their cuteness. What if you could see your truest self—the natural, emotional, relational, and spiritual you—through a three-way full-body mirror? Imagine what would be possible. Good therapy is a mirror into your soul.
I hold a Master’s in Counseling from Texas Wesleyan University, which informs my approach and commitment to helping you find your place and your path.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I have been cutting hair for 35 years of my life. In the last 10 I have been a therapist as well. I like to tell people that for over 35 years of my life I have been helping people "Get Their Head Right'. This euphemism speaks to this idea. Rather externally or internally, we want our heads right. I like to assist people in liking the person that they see when they look in the mirror.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
