Emily Glover, MSW Intern (she/her)

Location: Grand Rapids

Specialties: Anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationships, and self-esteem 

Ages: 11+

My “ideal client” could be anyone who has found the courage to take the first step towards healing and has scheduled that first intake appointment, even if they are reluctant, have reservations, or aren’t sure about the whole “counseling thing.” The client may not know their goals for therapy or their needs precisely, which is okay. We will start wherever the client is and go forward together.

I am a limited license MSW clinician with experience providing therapeutic modalities such as Motivational Interviewing, Grief and Loss, life transitions, mediation, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Intergenerational Family Therapy,  Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Areas I often work with are grief, relationship issues, adjustment disorders, anxiety and depression, trauma,  communication and confidence, chronic conditions, and self acceptance. 

My attending and interviewing style are my “superpowers” and my clients can expect warmth, attentive engagement, and supportive and validating interactions. I strive to create and foster an affirming, inclusive, and warm atmosphere where my clients can feel at ease during our time together. 

Each person is an expert in their own life, but occasionally, we may need help seeing things from a different angle, someone who can listen unbiasedly, focus on you, and support you towards optimal well-being. I’d be honored to be that person for you. I am committed to building and sustaining a trusting and strong therapeutic alliance with my clients.
