Mindful Glow, LLC

• Founder

  • Feb 2021 - Present

  Mindful Glow recognizes our community’s need for behavioral health education that goes outside the traditional therapeutic setting. Our evidenced-based services are developed to help individuals and families connect how their physical and emotional experiences are connected, by providing basic education, tools, and resources focused on overall wellbeing. Since the Oxford High School shooting, my primary focus has been working within the community to assist with healing through individual therapy, support groups, and advocacy for trauma informed care. I am grateful to be included in strategic planning and trainings with The Office for Victims of Crime Training and Technical Assistance Center. I also utilize my national certification in Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to provide education, tools, and support to individuals, families and community supports. I am passionate in supporting others that are working with mass violence survivors. It is important as clinicians that we recognize vicarious trauma and care for ourselves to continue the work that we do. Mass violence is a long journey and you do not need to walk it alone. Supervision for LLMSW is also available to help support new clinicians not only on required ethical values, but also the best standards and desired outcomes. Mindfulglowllc.com Show less
