Trevor Glymph, LMFTA
Trevor Glymph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate who works with individuals, couples, and families. He helps clients navigate significant life changes, relationship concerns, and unresolved emotional experiences. His approach is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative, with an emphasis on identifying recurring patterns, building greater trust in oneself, and creating meaningful, long-term change.
Are you struggling with overthinking, withdrawing in conversations, or repeating frustrating relationship patterns? I help individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges build better communication and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative and action-oriented. Rather than only talking through emotions, I help you step out of feeling overwhelmed and into practical change. Together, we explore your story, identify patterns that keep you stuck, and develop strategies that support the
life and relationships you want.
As a narrative therapist, I act as a “story detective,” helping you uncover patterns that keep you stuck. Together, we rewrite those stories into more empowering ones. I also use emotion-focused therapy
and CBT to help you feel less overwhelmed, improve communication, and move forward with confidence.
Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. We can move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, creating a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you take that next step.
Our Therapeutic Approaches
Our therapists draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS), structural family therapy, and person-centered therapy. We tailor therapy to each client’s goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
