Glenda Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. Glenda is certified as an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (AADC) and holds a certificate for Nutrition and Holistic Health. She has a compassion for helping others and provides individualized assessments and treatment plans to guide the therapy process for adults, including family therapy sessions per request. Glenda specializes in depressive disorders (SAD, major depression, and depression due to medical conditions); anxiety disorders (general anxiety, separation anxiety, social anxiety) and panic disorder; mood disorders (such as bipolar disorder); substance use disorders (alcohol and drug use); post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); and much more.
Glenda completed her Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) at Saginaw Valley University and her Master of Social Work (MSW) at Eastern University with Honors. She has great interest in creative arts and completed her Associate of Arts degree with the honor of being selected for the Presidents List throughout her semesters. Glenda utilizes an integrative, strength-based, and client-centered approach while incorporating mindfulness, holistic principles, and creativity. She enjoys including creative outlets of art, creative writing, and physical wellness when a client is interested in doing so. With years of experience in substance use recovery, recovery focus is also an area of expertise. Glenda has many years of experience with diverse populations and settings. This has allowed her to gather many tools to empower individuals in navigating through any challenges throughout their life journey.
Additional approaches implemented by Glenda that support change while providing a safe place for healing are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, solution focused, experiential therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, existential, and humanistic therapy. Although Glenda has a variety of treatment models, she believes working as a collaborative team creates a solid professional and therapeutic relationship that guides the sessions to successful outcomes and determines what is the best approach for each individual. She believes that setting goals for your tailored needs and concerns are just as equally important which are established by a customized treatment plan. She will guide you through this therapeutic process to clarify goals and begin the journey of wellness in treatment.
As each unique individual travels their path, life barriers, hurdles, life changes, adjustments, and stresses can occur that can cause a lot of distress toward whole well-being. You are not alone. It takes great courage to reach out for help and Glenda will provide a non-judgmental, safe, confidential, calming environment to build self-awareness, techniques, and personal growth from these life challenges. If you are ready to take this step, Glenda looks forward to meeting you.

Workaholism therapy helps those who have an unhealthy relationship with work. A person suffering from workaholism has an obsessive focus on their career, an inability to focus or even carry on a conversation about any other topic, and a willingness to sacrifice any other relationships or hobbies — Thriveworks therapists in Grand Rapids, MI will help them improve their habits and cope with the challenges that stem from their workaholism.
Workaholism therapy works by helping workaholics see how their addiction hurts themselves as well as their loved ones. Thriveworks therapists in Grand Rapids, MI can help create a new reality and lasting change. We can help workaholics understand how their long hours, lack of attention to loved ones, and obsessive need to achieve are detrimental to their overall happiness and health.
Workaholism therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of workaholism therapy depends on the individual’s needs as well as the extent and severity of their workaholism and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in the first weeks to months of therapy.
Workaholism is a compulsion to work that doesn’t disappear after leaving the office. It can cause physical problems, as well as stress and relationship conflict.
Thriveworks Grand Rapids workaholism counseling can help you understand this compulsion and figure out how to approach work in a healthier way.
Unlike the workaholic described above, some individuals simply work more than average because they find their work interesting, fulfilling, and engaging. These individuals are able to be emotionally present for family, friends, and coworkers. They enjoy getting to spend time with those close to them outside of work, and are able to do so without obsessively thinking about work. Again, counseling for workaholism in Grand Rapids becomes a reasonable step when working is interfering with your ability to engage with life outside of work.
It’s not just relationships and work productivity that can suffer when one becomes a workaholic. High stress can lead to high blood pressure, inability to sleep well, angry outbursts, and other health and social issues. Any one of these physical or mental/emotional signs can contribute toward a cycle of stress, health problems, and further overworking.
Relationships are one of the most important things that suffer when someone is overworking. Because they are likely home less, when they are with their family or friends, those friendships need to be nurtured. Relationships take effort from each person involved, and if one party begins to feel the other party doesn’t care as much, isn’t invested in the life of the first party, or simply isn’t present and engaged with the group, it really begins to wear on the relationship.
As we’ve all likely heard, those with healthy social lives even live longer (Rettner). Whether it be friends, family, or a romantic partner, having people in our lives who care about our health, happiness, and experiences is one of the best things we can do for health—and an unhealthy relationship with work is one of the fastest ways to jeopardize those relationships.
As with many other situations, Grand Rapids counseling for workaholism isn’t so much about helping the patient work less as it is about helping the patient understand why they feel the need to preoccupy themselves with work in the first place. Our therapists are skilled at helping patients dig deeply into their experiences to determine what’s creating the need to work excessively. Just as important, we’ll help you work through that need to create a healthier relationship with work.
At Thriveworks Grand Rapids, we’re here to help. If you think your preoccupation with work has moved beyond healthy levels, give us a call or book online to get started.
