Recovery from all behavioral health challenges is the expectation and she has helped many achieve the goals they have set through providing person centered, strength based, trauma responsive care. Ms. Glaze Parker uses evidence-based practices with an integrative approach that is holistic to personalize interventions to individual needs.
