As a psychotherapist and Life Coach I am trained in clinical social work as well as in exercise physiology. I understand how the mind, body and emotions are interconnected. When we are physically attuned, we are able to access deeper parts of ourselves. These deeper parts may be limiting due to old beliefs, negative behavior patterns, confusing emotions, and often times a combination of all three. Also, I bring to my clinical practice over 28 years experience in fitness and coaching team sports. Together we can work to set and achieve clear, obtainable life goals.

I am a Solution Focused Therapist working with individuals and couples. I have been in practice for 28 years. In my Solution Focused approach, a person looks at the issues/areas of life that need to be changed, and what habits, behaviors, actions and choices keep perpetuating these issues in your life or relationships. We look at when these issues are resolved, what will be different? What will you notice now that these issues are no longer on the emotional property of your life ? What will others notice? What has stopped you in the past?

As an art psycho-therapist, I conduct a private practice utilizing the creative arts. In a collaborative venue, I serve children, adults, and families, focusing on an inquiry that unpacks the many potential ancestral gifts, talents, and/or current narratives that are challenging the weary client or family. Facilitating the transformation of harmful personal or familial patterns demands empathy and therapeutic skill; such patterns may be brought forward within a variety of unique life span experiences, growth opportunities or demanding transitions.

Dr. Glanz has a Ph.D. from U. Texas at Austin. He trained in clinical psychology at Columbia University and in behavioral medicine at Harvard Medical School. He founded and was clinical director of a multi-state health psychology group. He works with adults with a wide range of personal and professional/career challenges and has expertise with people who have experienced cardiac events. Mindfulness, meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy are some of his tools. With help through the process of growth, with guidance and reassurance, you can thrive. Your amplitude, your life bandwidth and realized potential can shine.

Life is an ongoing process of aligning with our true authentic self. Without that alignment life can feel barren and meaningless. We feel stuck and unable to realize our visions and dreams. Yet, the capacity of the human spirit for creative and intuitive development is truly unlimited. Most of us however, use only a small fraction of that capacity. Through self-reflection and personal exploration we can gain an understanding of what limits this capacity.

(Working only thru video/Tele-Health all over New Mexico...) We all face key questions: "Where do I want to go in life ?" And "Who do I want to go there with?" "How do I want to get there? There's other Big Stuff of course: Stay in this relationship? This graduate program? This job? In Santa Fe? Pursue my REAL Bliss? How can I best manifest my Vision? You and I will get real, immediately. Real language, real meeting of the mind, the heart, and our highest selves. Therapy/ Coaching /Mentoring...I am a guy who is committed to living fully--let's do the same for you. Life is short. At least this one.

I use a holistic framework to educate my clients about how and what to eat in order to feel energized, grounded and well nourished. I help them to create habits that support their health and wellness goals. This includes counseling and education around holistic nutrition, meal planning and the connection between food and mood. I help my clients to identify the core values in their lives and to understand how emotional eating can affect the realization of their goals. I help my clients develop strategies around food that support their vision for wellness in a meaningful and sustainable way.

You deserve a healthier, wealthier, and more fulfilling life where you wake up ready to tackle every day with passion and enthusiasm. Helping people tap their innate strengths and shift their thinking to reach and even surpass their potential is what gets me out bed every morning. My life ’s mission is to help you break through your challenges and overcome your limiting beliefs to attain the results you desire and deserve, and have fun doing it. Together we'll overcome your limiting beliefs, follow a proven framework for creating new habits to overcome those beliefs, and then work to reinforce those new habits to achieve your goals.

I work one on one with clients for the actualization of their potential and the reclaiming of their inherent gifts. Myself, a committed listener. Your life , our work. Together we engage in the process of Integrative Soul Coaching : a unique blend of transformational life coaching , depth soul work and discovery, and subtle energy enhancement. Clients report startling new breakthroughs in their attitude and outlook, mindset, energy level, creativity, spirituality, relationships and health. The result - your life ignites, and you are free to create your self anew and the life you've always truly longed for.

We start by clarifying what your life will be like if we decide to work together and are successful. Then we ferret out the strategy you used to stay safe in your family and culture of origin. What you did then was useful (e.g. hiding, fighting, running away, lying) but likely no longer helps to manifest the life you long for today. Changing once useful ways of adopting is challenging and requires patience. Your primitive brain says "Don't change what kept you safe". Challenging that message creates anxiety so we practice ways to handle it.

I unable to see new clients at this time. My Santa Fe practice focuses on the process of rethinking one's life as the second half unfolds, including issues of midlife crisis and approaching retirement or, if already retired, finding and fostering a sense of vitality and fulfillment to this most important, likely quite lengthy, and absolutely unique stage in the life cycle. I believe the second half of life presents challenges and opportunities that are quite different from those we face in the first half. This is even more true of retirement as our expected lifespan lengthens.

I love working through challenging situations with people and I have found that most issues can be resolved over the course of a few weeks or months. My sessions are usually about 70 minutes because that's how long a complete and satisfying discussion takes. I don't intend to see you for nearly as long or as often as you think, and you might be surprised at the range of things I want to talk about. Your life is a lot more than your presenting complaint.

Your relationship is stressed or you're looking for one, you're restless in your career or you're searching for meaning. Your self-care has taken backseat to busyness and life has become about being mother, wife, or caretaker. You're feeling stagnant, uninspired, and worried the world is passing you by. Waking up in the morning and looking forward to your day seems like a distant reality. You want to change but feel paralyzed by uncertainty. It feels too hard on your own to get clear with what's missing in your relationship, your career, and your life or where to begin to make lasting, meaningful change that feels worth the effort.

Do you want to live a happy and deeply fulfilling life ? Like many, you probably want more for yourself, but you just can't seem to get there. Instead, life is constantly happening to you, and you are left feeling out of control. If so, you're not alone. I understand how overwhelming it is to want to change but not to know how to do it by yourself. I have good news for you! You already have everything you need to live a happy, whole life . You have the strength to overcome whatever challenges life throws at you. No matter where you are in your journey, the next step is easier than you think.

We all want to feel joyfull and fullfilled in our lives and relationships. The 30+ years I have been in practice include running treatment centers for healing child abuse, teaching / college level, national seminars, and training other therapists. I am licensed as both a clinical social worker and an addictions therapist. My experience and training has also allowed me to integrate clinical knowledge and cultural ways of life from elders. I help people achieve change through insight and solutions based in consciousness of internal and external conflicts.

***We are accepting New Clients*** Finding a trusted therapist you connect with is one of the most important parts of your healing journey. Sometimes it’s overwhelming grief that brings us to counseling. At other times it’s a general malaise or undefined unhappiness. At times our sorrow or trauma is so dark we can barely breathe. Other times, we know there’s more to life , yet we are allowing it to pass us by. We don’t know how to re-engage, how to find that zest for life . Perhaps it's a spiritual awakening that's prompting you to seek support. We ALL need guidance and a safe space.

Do you feel stuck in patterns of behaviors that are self defeating? Do you feel like the color has gone out of your life ? Are you longing for meaningful relationships but can't seem to create them? With every issue we confront, there's a tremendous opportunity for feeling revitalized. But to do this we must feel metaphorically held by another. That's where therapy comes in.
