Glen Cooper has been passionately involved in social services for over thirty years.  His life experiences, which range from working and living in a homeless shelter in downtown Los Angeles to ten years as a treatment foster parent, speak to his enthusiasm and commitment. Glen worked part time for many years so that he could participate in the day-to-day experience of parenting his foster children and later his own children. He considers this time of being home with children one of the joys of his life and a vital foundation for his clinical work.

Glen has extensive training in Family Therapy, Object Relations, and Attachment Theory.  Prior to his 25 years in private practice, he worked as a teacher and director of a preschool for low-income children, a therapist for sexually abused children, and consulted with Spokane Head Start for over 20 years.

Glen has consulted with researchers at University of Virginia, University of Maryland, City of Baltimore, and Tulane University. Projects include working with the judicial system, child protective services, and community services providers to coordinate early intervention and treatment for incarcerated mothers, at risk infants and teenage parents.
