Gloria Tolpin, LMHC

Gloria Tolpin is licensed mental health counselor who received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Washington, and Master of Arts in Existential-Phenomenological Therapeutic Psychology from Seattle University. She has experience working in community mental health and private practice settings for over 10 years.

Gloria's therapeutic background is Humanistic, Relational Psychodynamic, Trauma-Focused, and Mindfulness based, allowing her to apply an integrative and flexible approach in order to meet clients’ unique needs. She strives to create an empathic and non-judgmental environment in which clients can explore what it means to be themselves, within the context of their experiences, values, relationships and worldviews. Through thoughtful dialogue and a collaborative therapeutic relationship, Gloria works with individuals to better understand their assumptions and patterns, which leads to making more confident choices and living in a way that is mindful and true to one’s authentic self.

Influenced by the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gloria works with couples who have found themselves distant and disconnected from one another, stuck in a painful pattern of conflict, or wanting to strengthen their friendship, intimacy and resilience. Gloria maintains a safe, welcoming and affirming environment for individuals of all races, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions and cultural backgrounds
