We Believe That

Talking helps.
Along with talking, other ways of addressing your concerns (art or play therapy for example) can be helpful.
Challenges in life are opportunities for learning and growth.
You bring your life experiences, values and beliefs into the therapy process.
These together with the therapist’s personal and professional experiences can address your concerns.
Everyone has the right to receive mental health services.
Some of your concerns will resolve in a few sessions while others may take longer. The amount of time in therapy is determined by you and your therapist.
When clients and therapists work together, healing and change can happen.
Faith and spirituality can be important resources for healing and change.

Our History

The Delton Glebe Counselling Center is named after Rev. Dr. Delton J. Glebe
(1919-2011), a Lutheran pastor, who was Principal-Dean and Professor of
Pastoral (Spiritual) Care and Counselling at what is now Martin Luther
University College (1970-1984). He was a clinical member of the American
Association of Marriage and Family Therapy as well as a charter member and
former president of the Canadian Association of Pastoral Education.

Delton was a pioneer in the research and teaching of grief, death and dying.
Opened in October 2013, The Delton Glebe Counselling Centre aims to extend
the leadership and legacy of the late Delton Glebe.

Martin Luther University College

The Delton Glebe Counselling Centre, a community program of Martin Luther University College (formerly Waterloo Lutheran Seminary), provides mental health services as a non-profit organization. The Glebe was established as an agency that has both professional therapists and a place where graduate students of the Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy Program at Martin Luther University College, as well as the Masters of Social Work program at Wilfrid Laurier University, can train as therapists and complete the practicum portion of their program under the supervision of Timothy Rieck, RP, our Clinical Supervisor.

By serving students and our community this way, we offer quick access to high quality, affordable, mental health care. The Delton Glebe Counselling Centre is sponsored, in part, by the Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.

Meet Our Admin Team

Elma, Office and Intake Coordinator

Advocacy, compassionate care, community, and faith are all core values for me. At the Glebe, I am able to work in a community that reflects my core values. Connecting people to caring, affordable and professional therapists is a privilege and is deeply satisfying. It is my pleasure to be part of a team of people providing our community with much needed mental health support in a non-judgmental and compassionate atmosphere.

I worked for over 20 years in the field of HIV and AIDS advocacy and education. I’m a proud Oma to ten grandchildren, I enjoy CrossFit, kayaking and biking. We just discovered rock climbing and are loving it. I’m an avid reader and avoid crafting at all costs.

Rebecca, Office Administrator

I am a graduate of Martin Luther University College and have strong ties to the Luther community, attending Third Space worship and copyediting articles for Consensus: A Canadian Journal of Public Theology. I am delighted to be part of this team of wonderful people who are passionate about mental health and caring for others. My special projects at the Glebe include paying great attention to detail and creating various spreadsheets of data. But I promise I’m not boring.

When I’m not in the office, you can find me doing something colourful and crafty, playing with my hamster 🐹, practicing flute/baroque flute, exploring my new interest in ballet, or running around a D&D universe as a chaotic rabbit bard.

Marie, Assistant Office Administrator

I am an international PhD student at Martin Luther University College in the Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy Program.

It is a great pleasure for me to join this amazing team providing mental health therapy services that lead to personal growth.

My duty is to use my abilities and competencies to work in the best interest of the structure, respecting the diversity, dignity, and rights of all persons.

During my free time, I listen to music or go out for walks to admire nature.

Vijay, Assistant Office Administrator

I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Wilfrid Laurier University with a major in Psychology and Neuroscience.

I am very passionate about the work that gets done here at the Glebe to support mental health care in our community, especially with how high the standard of care is here. And, I hope to work in this field after I graduate.

On my off time I am a self proclaimed jack-of-all trades! I enjoy playing music, running, cooking, spending time with people close to me, and any other hobby you can imagine.
