Professional statement

Dr. Glick specializes in guiding clients through challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family dynamics, and identity development. She is passionate about helping individuals discern and prioritize what holds the most significance for them in life.

One of her areas of expertise lies in understanding and addressing procrastination, aiming to uncover its root causes and implement effective interventions.

Central to Dr. Glick's approach are fundamental questions like "What brings meaning and fulfillment to your life?" and "Are you willing to navigate discomfort to live authentically and purposefully?"

Dr. Glick finds great satisfaction in assisting clients in exploring these pivotal questions to determine areas for personal growth and change. She equips them with a range of techniques, skills, and learning opportunities, providing unwavering support throughout their journey.

Educationally, Dr. Glick holds an undergraduate degree from Haverford College, alongside MA and PhD degrees in Clinical Psychology from Suffolk University. Her training includes internships at Tewksbury State Hospital and postdoctoral work at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates and VA Boston National Center for PTSD, enriching her clinical expertise.

Having previously contributed as a Staff Psychologist at Beacon Therapy Group and the Brookline Center for Community, Dr. Glick now practices at Brighter Life Therapy, offering telehealth sessions for new clients. She eagerly anticipates the opportunity to connect with individuals seeking to cultivate a "Brighter Life" and navigate their personal journeys toward well-being.


Message to clients

Therapy is often seen as a means to feel better, but my primary goal is to empower you to live better – a change that typically leads to greater fulfillment and emotional well-being.

Clients frequently describe me as compassionate, caring, and adept at offering constructive challenges.

My approach integrates psychological theories and techniques with an interactive and energetic style. Together, we will pinpoint unproductive thoughts, emotional patterns, and behaviors that hinder you from aligning with your values and reaching your objectives.

With extensive training, I work effectively with diverse clients and a wide range of concerns. I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, obsessions, compulsions, procrastination, relationship issues, communication barriers, identity development, self-esteem, and value clarification. My expertise in these areas is further supported by my published work.

Let's start a conversation about how I can support you in your journey towards personal growth and well-being.
