LCSW, 15 years of experience
New to Grow
My name is Dawn Glasco. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree at Rutgers University and my Master’s Degree at Kean University. I have been a therapist for over 15 years, providing services to clients of all ages and backgrounds. My clinical approach is primarily Cognitive Behavior Therapy, however, I appreciate a holistic approach. I am certified in Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I was born and raised in New Jersey. I have three amazing children. In my free time, I love watching my favorite shows, which include Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. My favorite relaxation and calming technique is listening to Gospel music and singing my heart out (whether it is pleasing to the ear, is yet to be determined LOL).
Our first session will be focused on building a therapeutic relationship. We will discuss what prompted you to seek therapy and your goals for therapy. We will explore your interests and hobbies. We will also discuss your support system and current coping skills.
My clients will be treated with dignity and respect. Attending therapy and being vulnerable with a stranger is not easy. Sharing your challenges and entrusting someone with the private details of your life, is uncomfortable. I take pride in creating a safe space where my clients feel heard, understood and not feel judged.
My ideal client is someone who is willing to make forward movement. The pace and the steps taken will change, but having a growth mindset is important. I am experienced with meeting my client where they are, and together we will take steps forward, towards your goals.
