Amelia Glogowski, MSSA, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker 87881

"I believe that we thrive most when we are supported as unique individuals within our social context—i.e. within our families, friendships, and communities. That's why I love working not only with children and teens but also with caregivers, couples, and families. It is a privilege to work at an organization that honors both the individual and their social community, and to get to walk alongside families as they grow. "

Amelia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who received her Master's of Social Science Administration (MSW equivalent) from Case Western Reserve University in Ohio.  She also attended the University of Chicago where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Comparative Human Development.  Prior to Talk-a-While, Amelia worked with children, teens, caregivers, and families in their own homes to help solve problems related to chronic disease management, the parent-child relationship, depression, anxiety, problematic sexual behavior, oppositional defiance, school avoidance, substance use, and more.  She also has experience working with couples.  Amelia sees the therapeutic relationship as the cornerstone of good therapy.  She is passionate about evidence-based practices but is flexible and attentive to what works for specific individuals.  She believes that all individuals and families have strengths that can be utilized in treatment.  Likewise, she believes that being neurodivergent comes with both strengths and challenges, and that neither one cancels out the other.
