Meet Glenda Brown
I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I have over 19 years of experience working with Alberta Health Services as a social worker and therapist. I am excited to move into private practice over the last year starting in Cochrane and now in Airdrie which is my home community. I live on an acreage with my husband of 20 years, and we have 5 adult children with 6 grandchildren.

When your marriage is struggling it can be difficult to see a way out of the problems! It is my goal to help couples to find new ways to communicate with each other and build on each others’ strengths to become a team that is unified and working together.
