Jacinta Glashower

Counselor

“Support, encouragement, and space to breathe. From the daily anxiety of tasks and relationships to deep trauma. I would like to be the person that provides a safe place to heal. To hold onto hope when you are unable to have any. To lift you up in support of your goals. I am ready to invest in you.”

About Me

I offer a truly safe, supportive space for you to breathe. We can navigate daily anxieties from tasks and relationships, or gently process deep trauma. My aim is to help you find healing. I will hold onto hope for you when it feels out of reach. I am ready to invest in your well-being. Expect dedicated support and encouragement to lift you towards your goals.

Approach

When days feel crowded by anxiety or grief, I help you make gentle space to notice what matters and choose one small step forward. In sessions in Grand Rapids or online in English, we move at a steady, conversational pace—naming what’s urgent, exploring patterns beneath it, and practicing simple skills you can try between meetings. Therapy blends practical tools with compassionate reflection so you leave session feeling steadier. People juggling relationships, parenting, fertility concerns, or life shifts often find this approach grounding.
