Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I received my Master's in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2014. My clinical values are deeply rooted in the ethos of social work, which is that to understand any person, you must understand the context of their life. This includes your family of origin, socioeconomic status, any discrimination you face, and your religious or spiritual belief system. All of these parts of your life will be essential to bring into the therapy space to understand best what ails you and where we might find remedies within you and your community.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi, I’m Brittany Glenn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Tree of Life Health & Wellness. I am passionate about supporting individuals through life’s most overwhelming and transitional moments, with a special focus on maternal mental health, trauma, and families involved with child welfare systems.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across clinical and community settings, including DCFS-involved families. My background includes providing comprehensive assessments, substance use evaluations, and therapy services that are both compassionate and structured. I am trained in trauma-informed care and take an individualized approach to meet each client where they are.

I specialize in working with mothers—particularly during pregnancy and the postpartum period—who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or feeling overwhelmed. I also support individuals navigating life stressors, relationship challenges, and emotional regulation concerns.

My approach is warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I believe healing happens through connection, consistency, and feeling truly supported.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

My path to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner wasn't just a career choice; it was a personal mission. After watching a loved one navigate the complexities of mental health, I realized how much the right support—or the lack of it—can change the trajectory of a life. Because of this, I’m not just focused on symptoms; I’m focused on you.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and neurocognitive disorders, providing telehealth care throughout Illinois. I take great pride in my ability to break down complex clinical terms into understandable language, ensuring you never feel left in the dark about your own brain. When I'm not in the "office," I’m usually staying active, cooking, or listening to an educational podcast to stay sharp on the latest in wellness.

I'm Gifty Danso, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
