At Looking Glass Psychological Services, we strive to see the whole person clearly. People are a complicated and colorful mix of thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and experiences. We seek to understand each person as an individual, to hear their needs, and to reflect back to them their strengths. It is a privilege to join the client in working towards their goals for personal change, growth, and healing.
