Glennon Gordon is a Licensed Individual Clinical Social Worker.  She graduated
from New York University with her Masters in Social Work in May, 1997 with a concentration in Family Systems. 

As a psychotherapist at The Boys’ and Girls’ Homes and Community Services outreach program in Silver Spring, MD she developed a pilot program for troubled youth that included the whole family in the treatment process.

She completed her postgraduate training at the Bowen Center for the Study of the Family in 2002. During this two-year program, Glennon worked as an intern in the Georgetown Family Center's clinic seeing families, couples and individuals using Bowen theory as a guiding principal.

During this time, she also began consulting at The Counseling Center at St. Columba’s where she maintains a thriving part-time practice.  This is a non-denominational counseling center providing psychotherapy for parish members as well as to people in the community of other religious affiliation or none.  She works with people who have a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, stressful life transitions, and marital and relationship problems.  

Glennon began studying Neurofeedback with Priscilla Friesen in 2004, and has recently incorporated it as a regular and useful tool in both practices.  While she has found that neurofeedback is extremely helpful for someone with issues on the anxiety spectrum, she also has an increasing interest in how neurofeedback is helpful for people suffering from migraine headaches. Other neurofeedback interests include working with both children and adults affected by Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), and those with performance related anxieties (sports, presentations, testing, etc.). 

There is no secret to balance,
you just have to feel the waves.
Frank Herbert

Glennon has a strong sense of the mind-body connection, and views this as an integral part of any healing process.  Through athletic endeavors of her own, (a marathon and a number of triathlons) she has learned first hand how quieting the mind and creating positive neural pathways (thinking) decreases anxiety and therefore increases the body’s ability to perform. 

The same process is true when working on one’s functioning in a relationship system.  The less anxiety one can learn to experience as a result of the relationship, the more thoughtful one can become about their own functioning within it, the more rewarding life becomes. Chronic anxiety can effect us on a cellular level.

It is a powerful experience to learn to take responsibility for your own functioning (therefore decreasing anxiety) in all of your most important relationships.  Living optimally means balancing the energy of your mind, body and spirit.  Without balance we wobble.
