Dr. Glinski believes that psychotherapy is both a science and an art. There is an ever-growing body of research on evidence-based treatments and strategies for well-being. Current research always informs Dr. Glinski's approach. She has training/experience in a variety of different therapeutic approaches: cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, meditation/mindfulness, and positive psychology practices. This diverse background allows her to integrate various therapeutic strategies based on the needs of the client. The art of psychotherapy involves being flexible and creative enough to use a practical “do what works” rather than a “one size fits all” approach. More important than any specific technique or philosophy is the relationship between therapist and client. In fact, studies show that the therapeutic alliance is the strongest predictor in treatment outcome. Dr. Glinski's warm, approachable, and interactive style allows clients to feel comfortable and understood. This connection is crucial for therapeutic change.
