I’m Glendalee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Geriatric Care Manager, Certified Medical Cannabis Consultant, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) provider, with a heart rooted in holistic, culturally responsive healing. I founded GLO Within Services in 2019 to create a sanctuary where therapy feels expansive, embodied, and deeply human. A space where science, spirit, culture, and creativity are allowed to coexist.

My work blends traditional psychotherapy with innovative and somatic approaches, including Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, plant medicine education, and movement-based healing. KAP allows clients to access deeper layers of emotional insight and nervous system regulation, elevating therapy beyond conversation and into embodied transformation.

I am also a Certified Zumba and Zumba Gold instructor, weaving dance and movement into the healing space as a powerful form of expression, regulation, and liberation. Movement is medicine. It reconnects us to joy, to our bodies, and to the parts of ourselves that words can’t always reach. Dance is not an add-on here. It is part of the language of healing.

My connection to movement began long before my clinical career. Since the age of six, I dreamed of being a dancer and performer. The stage felt like freedom. But fear redirected my path, and I found my way into social work, where I could still connect, move people emotionally, and hold space for transformation. What once felt like a detour revealed itself as a deeper calling. Now, through therapy, KAP, and movement, I have come full circle, blending art, presence, and healing.

I am also the visionary behind La Botanika Wellness, an evolving, culture-rooted healing collective and future home of a clinical group practice. La Botanika is being developed as a community-centered space where therapy, movement, herbal wisdom, ancestral practices, and creative healing experiences live together. It will be a place for workshops, group experiences, dance-based healing, and collective restoration for People of Color and marginalized communities. A space where healing feels alive, expressive, and communal.
