Gleyce takes a whole-person, integrative approach to therapy, blending psychoanalytic insight with practical, evidence-based tools. Her style is direct, collaborative, and results-oriented, helping clients identify the underlying emotional and psychological patterns that drive stress, anxiety, and burnout.

Gleyce helps clients manage anxiety, depression, burnout, identity shifts, and performance pressure, while also strengthening confidence, leadership presence, resilience, and focus. Her work is especially effective for athletes and performers balancing identity, self-worth, and mental health alongside intense training, competition, and public expectations.

As the founder of Kellen Mental Health, Gleyce also supports clinicians and investors in building future-forward mental health practices through franchising. Her leadership focuses on creating a new standard in mental health care that prioritizes clinical excellence, human connection, and long-term autonomy for both clients and clinicians.

Whether working with elite performers and high-achieving professionals in therapy or mentoring others to build impactful mental health practices, Gleyce is deeply committed to helping individuals move into their next level of growth with clarity, integrity, and intention.
