Glenda Cedarleaf-Orr MSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Glenda Cedarleaf-Orr's approach to healing is heart-centered and holistic-using hypnotherapy as a primary modality to facilitate healing. Hypnotherapy helps to reconnect with and release repressed emotions. It facilitates the ability to review anxieties and fears in a safe atmosphere. This process offers healing to the inner child and brings profound insights uniquely gained from the unconscious creative mind. This healing can transform the recurring dramas in life so that there is less reactivity and a greater ability to create a nurturing relationship with oneself and others.

Glenda provides psychotherapy and hypnotherapy to:


Address depression, anxiety, phobias, and low self esteem

Understand and heal intimate relationships

Navigate life transitions-illness, divorce, career changes, loss-grief

Release emotions/body memories related to chronic illness and trauma

Explore and unblock creativity - nurturing the artist within

Improve sports/ academic pursuits

Prepare for medical procedures

Lose weight

Improve relaxation and stress management

Explore challenges and opportunities of midlife-menopause, and “empty nest” time

Create, visualize and reinforce new pathways for life change

For over 20 years, Glenda has worked with individuals and couples facing emotional, physical, and spiritual challenges. She has taught wellness workshops and facilitated women's groups that incorporate guided imagery, journaling, art, and movement.

Glenda is a 1980 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Social Work. In North Carolina she has provided counseling in a variety of settings including: an integrative holistic private practice, an oncology clinic, hospice, and home health. She has recently relocated to Minneapolis and is welcoming new clients.
