Glen F. Pastores, LMFT #94162

• Jul 2019 - Present

I provide psychotherapy services to adults, children and adolescents, families, and couples with a goal of increasing their capacity to live more connected and meaningful lives. Often the ways we have learned to adapt to our world are no longer effective or relevant. I seek to help clients create deeper awareness and insight into their motives, defenses, and desires. Together we explore patterns that contribute to struggles and dissonance in day to day life. My practice is intended to focus on the strengths you already have and strategically build on those strengths to develop new ways to cope with any difficulties you might face in your life.
