I moved to Colorado in 2010 to continue my quest for helping others. Many years ago, someone helped me and I having been giving back for more than 20+ years. Together, we will develop a comprehensive plan so that you can get the tools you need to help you reach your goals. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and for that I appreciate you.

My name is Glen Alan Ensinger. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I lived in Colorado for over one year and was licensed last March. I have been licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois since 2002. I have provided crisis counseling and domestic violence counseling for perpetrators and victims. I completed my master's degree at Western Illinois University which included a practicum and internship at White Oaks in Peoria, Illinois. This is a substance abuse program. I have worked at a school for children with behavioral problems and also have provided counseling and crisis services at a community mental health center. For approximately 10 years I was on clinical staff for the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria, Illinois where I provided counseling services for clients in the HIV program. I worked over 8 years at the 9th Judicial Court in Illinois as a court services therapist. I have a private practice that includes working for programs that helped children either get adopted or return home from the foster care program (or help parents get the children returned to them). My primary work has been with families, couples and children. I use dialectical behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and general Rogerian therapy to help people live more successful lives.

As a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, I provide comprehensive psychiatric care grounded in evidence-based medicine while recognizing that healing often requires looking beyond symptoms alone. Together, we will explore not only what you are experiencing, but why. My goal is to help you find relief, and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with individuals facing complex concerns, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. When appropriate, treatment may include medication management as part of a holistic approach to care. I believe lasting mental wellness is nurtured through the connection of mind, body, and daily life, incorporating tools such as mindfulness, meditation, affirmations, stress management, and other wellness practices.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in trauma therapy. I provide a compassionate, client-centered space for healing and growth. My approach integrates EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and grief counseling to help clients process difficult experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves and others.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor for 20+ years I have gained a lot of experience to draw upon. I understand that seeking help can be one of the hardest things to do, so good job on acknowledging that talking to someone could be helpful.
