Adam Glendye LPC, CPCS

Hello! I’m Adam and I believe that pursuing growth and opportunity is essential to achieving health and life goals. I founded The Pursuit to help our clients pursue life with that same belief. I specialize in Narrative Therapy, which emphasizes the stories we tell ourselves about our lives. These stories shape our experiences and perceptions, and ultimately influence how we see ourselves in the world.

Our collaborative efforts will involve a journey towards self-discovery, resulting in a heightened comprehension of oneself and an enhanced level of integration. The culmination of our work together will leave you feeling more equipped to handle life’s challenges with a restored sense of completeness.

Mary Laughlin
(She/Her/Hers)

Hi, I’m Mary, and I take great care in creating therapeutic spaces that allow individuals to feel seen, heard, and known. My goal is to meet each client where they are, just as they are, with authenticity, compassion, and respect. Together, we do this by gently shedding light on what brings you both joy and pain so that you can step in confidence towards the life you desire.

My work with clients is a blend of existential and humanistic therapies, wellness, and mind/body approaches. My professional background in healthcare and educational settings have given me a deep appreciation for the gift of acceptance and the human capacity for growth. I’m looking forward to walking with you on this journey.
