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.
I work with older adults and individuals living with serious mental illness who may be feeling overwhelmed by life changes, emotional stress, health concerns, loss, or isolation. Many of my clients come in carrying too much for too long, feeling stuck, discouraged, or disconnected from themselves.
Whatever brings you here, my goal is to offer a space that feels steady and respectful — where you can slow down, be heard, and start making sense of what’s been heavy. You don’t have to have it all figured out; we’ll take things one step at a time, without pressure or judgment.

I know life can get really challenging at times, symptoms flare up, you feel lost. I'm here to listen to you and work together to help you cope and rebuild the life you want to live.
With a nursing career spanning since 2008, I have dedicated over 15 years to understanding the complexities of patient care.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Evanston starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and stress. As you compare Evanston therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit what you want to work on.
Evanston has a smaller local therapist market than nearby Chicago, so virtual therapy can help expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. You may prefer an office near downtown Evanston, Northwestern, or transit, or you may want virtual appointments that fit your schedule. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can also show how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Evanston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists in Evanston who take insurance, view estimated costs after entering your plan details, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapist profiles, compare fit, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
