My name is Glen Porter and I am a master’s level mental health therapist (CMHC). I retired from law enforcement after 26 years, which includes working for the Dallas Police Department and the Utah Highway Patrol. I also have 20 years experience in the military in the National Guard and Reserves. My experience helps provide understanding and perspective for the stressors that are unique to first responders.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to learn new skills and process difficult events when they negatively affect our work and personal lives. If you find your personal life isn’t heading in the direction you had anticipated or desired, I can help you navigate through these challenges. I provide a safe and confidential setting and personally relate to first responders

The Partridge Group's primary focus is providing wellness, resilience, and mental health resources for Law Enforcement Officers and First Responders. Because of this focus, all of our providers have either law enforcement experience or have met with and been approved by one (or more) of our LEO consultants, to ensure the right fit for our clients. In addition, we require our therapists to do ride- alongs, experience some LEO training firsthand, and/or have continued exposure to officers in real-world, practical settings. This emphasis on LEOs and LEO culture ensures all of our providers not only understand the unique challenges facing our clients but also help develop and provide best practices for healing, rebuilding, and strengthening resilience. Our goal is not just to help you survive this career, but to thrive both professionally and personally.
