About Us
Vision & Values
Our vision of at the Glebe Counselling is to create an accessible community counselling centre where fully Registered Psychotherapists, MSW and graduate-level trainees work together to provide compassionate, affordable, and high-quality psychotherapy.
Our Values
Affordable – fits most budgets
Professional – supports desired outcomes.
Integrated – A therapy plan that fits your needs.
Immediate – seen by a therapist within 24 hours.
Accessible – online or in person.
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.

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 interim Clinical/Executive Director.
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.
The Delton Glebe Counselling Centre is a program of Martin Luther University College
