Many of the solutions we seek are already inside of us. They can be hard to find, but it is possible. Using talk therapy and emotional regulation skills, we’ll work together to identify goals and practices that fit with the life you’re eager to live. I will provide compassionate, steady support as you navigate anxiety, depression, family or relationship challenges, recovery from addiction, and the impacts of ADHD.

I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs and always consider cultural and social context. I also collaborate with other therapists to offer educational and support groups several times a year. Using a combination of physical, emotional, and cognitive tools, we’ll work to improve daily functioning, strengthen coping skills, and increase the joy and ease in your life.

I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Regis University, and I work with adults across a variety of life stages and transitions.

Do you struggle with worry or stress? Do you sometimes lose sleep, become unfocused or distracted, or is being present and calm around other people challenging? Sometimes, after a period of struggle (like a loss, divorce, or extended work stress), we can forget what it was like to not struggle. To find that calm again, to reclaim who we used to be, can help us move forward.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 2.1 mi away • Colorado


I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 17 years of experience as a psychotherapist. My background includes more than a decade working in university counseling centers, where I supported undergraduate and graduate students. Now in private practice in Denver, I bring that same depth of experience to a wider range of adults.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I offer approaches that incorporate mindfulness, somatic awareness, EMDR, and psychedelic-assisted therapy (including ketamine). I work with clients navigating stress, perfectionism, ADHD, trauma, difficulties with self-worth and shame, and major life changes, as well as those seeking deeper self-understanding and growth.

I believe that humans should ideally be unfolding and growing throughout their lifetime. This means embracing change, especially when life gets difficult and we feel stuck, dissatisfied, or overwhelmed. Change is a journey with ups and downs. Personally, I believe we all struggle with challenges at different times in our life and it's the courageous who seek help.

Glenn Permar

Glenn Permar

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


Hi, I’m Glenn Permar — a therapist, former school counselor, and U.S. Air Force veteran. I help teens and adults who feel mentally overloaded, anxious, or scattered find more steadiness, focus, and calm in their daily lives.

Many of the people I work with describe their minds as always “on” — juggling ideas, worries, and to-do lists that never seem to end. Whether it’s anxiety, ADHD, or burnout, that constant pressure can make life feel exhausting. Together, we slow things down and find what I call your “steady middle” — that balanced space between feeling overworked and feeling stuck, where your mind feels alert but grounded.

My approach combines evidence-based tools like CBT and mindfulness with a down-to-earth, collaborative style. You won’t find judgment or jargon here — just real conversation, practical strategies, and space to understand what your stress is trying to tell you.

Before becoming a therapist, I served in the Air Force and later worked as a school counselor and Social Emotional Learning Specialist during the pandemic. Those experiences shaped how I help people manage stress, build emotional resilience, and move through life with more confidence and calm.

If you’re ready to understand your mind, manage stress in ways that actually work, and create more balance in your life, I’d be honored to work with you.
