Glen Bradley

Embracing the intricate dance between mind and body, Glen Bradley brings a unique and holistic approach to therapy in the heart of Washington, DC. As a Nationally Certified Counselor and Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor, Glen believes that much of our suffering stems from a disconnect with our nervous system's responses to stress and danger.

Glen's therapeutic approach is rooted in polyvagal-informed therapy, which teaches clients to understand and befriend their nervous system. This innovative method helps individuals develop an embodied intuition and trust in their inner self, paving the way for profound healing and personal growth. By incorporating somatic therapy techniques and Gestalt therapy, Glen assists clients in processing unfinished business, repressed emotions, and trauma, offering a path to wholeness and self-discovery.

With a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington, DC, Glen's academic background complements their practical experience. Their expertise spans a wide range of areas, including life challenges, career changes, relationship difficulties, identity exploration, trauma processing, and coping with medical diagnoses. Glen is particularly adept at treating anxiety, depression, anger, and work-related stress, providing a safe and nurturing space for clients to explore these issues.

Glen's professional journey is as diverse as their therapeutic toolbox. Before becoming a counselor, they worked in government program management consulting, bringing a unique understanding of workplace dynamics and career transitions to their practice. This background, combined with over 10 years of experience teaching queer cultural competency courses to various professionals and organizations, allows Glen to offer culturally sensitive and affirming therapy to a diverse clientele.

As a genderqueer, gay, and White individual who practices Zen Buddhism and eco-spirituality, Glen brings a personal touch of empathy and understanding to their work. They identify as a kink, poly, and neurodivergent-affirming therapist, creating an inclusive environment where clients from all walks of life feel seen and validated. Whether through in-person sessions or telehealth, Glen is committed to guiding clients towards a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world, one therapeutic conversation at a time.
