William (Russell) Glass is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s degree in counseling and 24 years of clinical experience. He approaches care with an emphasis on courage and practical change, drawing on long experience helping people navigate substance use disorder and related concerns such as HCV, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression.
