Glad Uko-Ima

LMHC-D, Clinical Supervisor | Real Mind Psychotherapy

Glad Uko-Ima is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Clinical Supervisor, and founder of Real Mind Psychotherapy. She holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling & Wellness from New York University, where she received advanced training in evidence-based therapeutic approaches and holistic mental health care.

Glad founded Real Mind Psychotherapy with one clear purpose: to create a supportive, thoughtful, and healing space where clients feel understood, guided, and empowered toward real, lasting change.

Clinical Philosophy

Her clinical philosophy is grounded in Real Mind Therapy, an integrative approach that combines evidence-based modalities with deeper insight into the thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences that shape a person's well-being.

Individual Therapy

Glad works with individuals navigating emotional challenges, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and practical — helping clients gain clarity, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier patterns that support meaningful and lasting change.

Couples Therapy

She works with couples to address communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, recurring conflict, and trust-related concerns. Through a structured and compassionate process, Glad helps partners better understand one another, rebuild connection, and create healthier, more secure relationships.

Family Therapy

Glad provides family therapy to help families navigate conflict, improve communication, and strengthen relationships across different roles and dynamics. She works with families experiencing tension, transitions, or ongoing misunderstandings, helping each member feel heard while fostering healthier interaction patterns. Her approach focuses on reducing conflict cycles, building mutual understanding, and creating a more supportive and connected family system.

Faith Integration

Glad also honors the role of faith and spirituality in healing for clients who desire that integration. She blends evidence-based therapy with a holistic perspective that respects both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of growth.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or ready for something different, Glad provides a grounded and supportive environment to help you reconnect with yourself, strengthen your relationships, and move forward with confidence.

"The best solution to human problems is talking to someone who listens to your struggles, empathizes with you, and helps you identify your strengths to find solutions."

Dr. Uko-Ima

Ph.D, LLM, MA, MFT-LP | Real Mind Psychotherapy

Dr. Uko-Ima is an Associate Psychotherapist at Real Mind Psychotherapy. He provides a highly personalized, discreet, and results-driven therapeutic experience for individuals, couples, and families seeking meaningful and lasting change.

He holds a Ph.D. in Forensic Psychology and practices under a Limited Permit in Marriage and Family Therapy, bringing a strong clinical and analytical foundation to his work.

He works with high-performing professionals, entrepreneurs, and individuals navigating complex emotional, relational, and life demands. Many of his clients are accustomed to functioning at a high level externally, yet experience internal stress, overthinking, relationship strain, or a persistent sense of imbalance. His work is designed to address these challenges with precision, depth, and intention.

Clinical Philosophy

His clinical philosophy is centered on the development of a "Real Mind" — a refined awareness of one's internal processes, enabling clarity in thinking, emotional regulation, and effective decision-making. This approach moves beyond surface-level coping, focusing instead on identifying and restructuring the underlying patterns that shape behavior, relationships, and overall well-being.

Couples Therapy

He is particularly sought after for his work with couples. He provides a structured and strategic approach to resolving communication breakdown, emotional disconnection, and trust-related concerns. His work helps partners move out of reactive cycles and into intentional, secure, and emotionally attuned relationships. Sessions are focused, outcome-oriented, and tailored to the unique dynamics of each couple.

Family Therapy

Dr. Uko-Ima provides family therapy to address complex family dynamics, intergenerational patterns, and ongoing conflict within the family system. He works with families to improve communication, clarify roles, and reduce tension by identifying underlying patterns that contribute to dysfunction. His approach is structured and insight-driven, helping each family member feel understood while fostering accountability, healthier boundaries, and more stable, supportive relationships.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, Dr. Uko-Ima integrates evidence-based modalities to deliver a comprehensive and sophisticated treatment experience. Clients gain not only insight, but also practical tools that support sustained growth and high-level functioning.

Faith Integration

For those who value faith, Dr. Uko-Ima offers the option of integrating Biblical principles of mind renewal into the therapeutic process. This approach is implemented with clinical precision and respect, supporting alignment between thought patterns, personal values, and relational life.

Dr. Uko-Ima's style is direct, thoughtful, and highly attuned. He maintains a balance of support and challenge, creating a space where clients are encouraged to engage deeply, take ownership of their growth, and achieve measurable outcomes.

As a clinician, Dr. Uko-Ima ensures that each client experience reflects a high standard of care — marked by professionalism, discretion, and a commitment to excellence.
