“So there is a current movie that was recently in the theaters and is now available on-line. The title is “A Man Named Otto.” The film depicts a man whose wife died. He had devoted his life to her, and when she died felt his life would be empty. When she was alive, his life was full. When his wife passed away, he drew within himself and became bitter and angry about being left alone. Because of the wise counsel that I received from Ari, leading up to my wife’s eventual death from Cancer, I was able to avoid the pain and suffering depicted in this film. I was able to remain connected to the thought that my wife would want for me to continue with my life and to be a giving and caring individual to my children, good friends, and to try and help others that may be struggling. It has now been 5 since since her death and what Ari did for me throughout that period of time was and continues to be life changing. I continue to touch base with Dr. Gleckman every few months and at those times, I share my many successes and when needed, seek his counsel when it comes to problem solving. An incredible journey it has been…I am eternally thankful. ”

“I have been a patient of Concierge Psychological Services for about 2 years now and was initially referred to Dr. Gleckman by a very dear friend during a season in my life where I felt pretty hopeless and lost on what to do to “fix it”. I felt paralyzed in knowing which way I should turn to seek support yet I knew I also needed to be held accountable to addressing some of the negative patterns in which I was dealing with stress, relationships and anxiety that inhibited my personal growth. I sought out Ari’s wisdom and guidance in hopes of learning how to address life’s challenges with a healthier mindset and greater sense of calm and peace in my life. As much as I wish I still believed in fairy god mothers and magic wands to fix everything-unfortunately life proves not to be that easy. However, I warmly have come to refer to Dr. G as a “wizard” of sorts due to the results of the foundation we have built and the work that we will continue to do in the future. I have come to believe you never stop growing, and it’s never too late to start over when you want to-you just need to find the right professional to guide you-and I’m so grateful to have pursued the services Dr. Gleckman provides and made the investment that I have-both emotionally and financially speaking. ”

“I’ve read through several of these testimonials and share many of the same sentiments and the sense of gratitude that a lot of the other clients describe. I too credit Ari for helping to save my life. I too have said aloud to Ari on more than one occasion, “I wish I could have met you a long time ago…would have saved a lot of pain, suffering and damage for me and my family.” I had previously tried marriage counseling and other types of counseling, to no avail. So when I hit a hard rock bottom and contacted Ari because a friend was treating with Ari, with success, it was the beginning of a much healthier and more serene path forward for me. I had a “double diagnosis” of alcoholism and addiction—both of which were news to me—but was thankful for something that explained, in part, the issues that had dogged me for most of my life. All of that was several 24 hour periods ago. I’m sober—one day at a time—and have a life worth staying sober for. I give huge amounts of credit and love to Ari for helping me understand alcoholism and addiction, for helping me connect the dots and for starting me down the path of recovery.
Later on, when my teenage son had a problem with cannabis and my wife and I didn’t like the trajectory that he was on, we introduced him to Ari for weekly counseling sessions. My son’s life is by no means perfect—he is a teenager, after all—but the cannabis addiction was successfully dealt with in a manner of months.
Thank you, Ari, for all the help, wisdom and comfort that you’ve provided to me and my family!”

“Many families have a loved one in need of significant help in dealing with addiction or mental health challenges but simply can’t find the professional intervention they need. It’s more common than you may think. I know just how it feels — I was there with an adult son some years ago when stigma was a barrier, help was not readily identifiable, and I eventually watched my son drink himself to death — literally. More recently, with a teenage grandson in need of help with cannabis addiction and some other issues it’s been a totally different story. The difference is Dr. Ari Gleckman. Our grandson went from “no way I’m even going to meet with him” to several weeks of successful relationship building and therapy with Dr. Gleckman followed by successful completion of the ten-week wilderness program Dr. Gleckman arranged for him to enter, and then further success in a follow on after care program. Bottom line — we’re getting our wonderful grandson back, and he’s now looking forward to the life as a young adult that he deserves. None of this would have happened without Ari. I’ve subsequently referred two other families to him, both with their own unique family challenges but both heading toward similar outcomes. I’m so appreciative to have witnessed Dr. Gleckman literally change lives.”

“In a lot of ways, Ari is much more than just a therapist. I think of him as a life mentor that has helped me not only overcome the immense amount of anxiety and depression I was dealing with, but also how to cope with everyday problems. For quite some time I didn’t believe there was a therapist that I could relate to and enjoy spending my time with. However, the biggest understatement of this testimonial would be that I simply enjoyed my sessions with Dr. Gleckman. They have changed my life. A thought I have nearly every time I leave Ari is that I wish I had chosen to work with him sooner than I did. I am an exponentially better human because of Dr. Gleckman and I could never truly put into words how much better my life is because of him. ”

“In my opinion, Ari Gleckman, PhD is the best therapist in the entire state of Indiana. He provides an unparalleled amount of professional expertise that is tailored for each client. He gives each one great accessibility to him, various modalities of therapy and treatment, true and genuine passion for them, and a very down-to-earth approach and personality. I have worked in collaboration with him for many years, and truly have nothing but admiration, appreciation, and commendation for him. My patients (his clients) continually tell me how much benefit they have received while seeing him, the improvement in their symptoms as well as overall well-being, and that he has been much more beneficial than previous therapists they have seen. Dr. Gleckman is very timely in responding to my inquiries, cares unequivocally about each client, and simply enjoys his job. I know him both professionally and personally, and am so thankful he has helped numerous patients of mine. I would highly recommend Dr. Gleckman without any reservations!!”

“To say, “Ari changed my life” sounds incredibly trite and possibly overextended, YET, that is exactly how I feel.  When I met Ari I was trying to see if my marriage was salvageable.  Little did I know the journey I would embark upon.  Ari has turned my world upside down, in all the best ways.  He has helped me look at myself in a completely different way.  Not only was my marriage salvageable, but so was I!  Ari has held my hand to the fire when I could not see the forest through the trees.  I have learned how to breathe, how to listen, how to love, and be loved.  Over the course of a fews years now, every member in my family has spent some time with Ari.  My children, my husband, my marriage and I are living a more loving and fulfilled life than I had imagined.  The only thing I can say is I have never regretted my introduction to Ari and I am extremely blessed to have him in my life.”

“I met Ari about 15 years ago. I was struggling with anxiety and depression, and I felt I needed a new therapist. Ari was a breath of fresh air compared to the previous therapists I’d gone to. I wasn’t “just a patient” to him - rather, we entered into a collaborative process. He gave me homework - he held me accountable. Because of Ari - and yes, my work - I’ve done things I never imagined I could do. I’ve become the person I was meant to be. Ari has been my guide, my mentor, and my friend. I am ever so grateful for the day I first met him.”

“Dr. Gleckman has helped a number of my clients by providing timely, focused and insightful therapy services during a client’s difficult circumstances. When I refer a client to Dr. Gleckman, I know my client will receive immediate attention and services tailored to my client’s specific needs. I consider Dr. Gleckman an integral member of my client’s team. ”

“Words can not describe how fortunate I am to have found Dr. ADG. The client is placed as first priority. Perhaps that’s why it has been so successful. Professionalism and quality are his highest virtues.He is a true professional who is both compassionate and incredibly effective. Ari holds himself to a high standard of performance and is a committed advocate for his patients. He is a man of integrity. Broken people can always sense and this makes him stand out. I didn’t just sit through each session like a bump on a log (I’ve heard of so many therapists who did just that) he interacted. He gave me homework, had me read books and had me really participate in my own healing. His unbiased support has made me see things in a whole new perspective. Most importantly my self worth and respect for myself. ”

“Dr. Ari made me feel comfortable enough to talk openly about anything and everything. He talks to me straight up, not telling me what he thinks I “want” to hear… but what I “need” to hear. He taught me that it is ok to forgive but it doesn’t mean there won’t be sad/angry moments again, that is only human, and we would just work thru them. He gives homework that makes you take a deeper look at yourself and really think. He teaches how to set boundaries and why they are important. He is available whenever I’m having bad day. I’m truly blessed to be able to count him as not only my Dr. but a good friend. He has helped me see that there can be a rewarding/meaningful relationship after infidelity. For that I will always be grateful.”

“I have struggled with some type of anxiety, off and on, for over 40 years. I’ve seen other therapists in the past and have only been able to manage the symptoms that were caused by my fears. I recently started working with Dr. Gleckman and I can honestly say that I am now dealing with and healing my fears. I truly feel happy most days! I still have a lot of struggles but I know that I will continue to be happy and change my bad habits. The readings and videos that he shares with me have been eye-opening and very inspiring. It’s wonderful to be able to contact him during the day if I have a question or concern. I’m grateful that he is REAL and gets to the point about my weaknesses. I’m able to shift my bad habits to good habits more easily. I am more present in everything I do and my connection with everyone is so much more meaningful. I look forward to continuing to work with Dr. Gleckman in maintaining a healthy mental lifestyle!”

“We met Ari as a referral from our family doctor. Our family was desperately looking for a place or person to help get our son off heron. We were lost like a ball in the high weeds. Our first meeting with him was WOW, this man is a cold hearted noncaring ass. He told us things that hurt our hearts, but he was spot on from that first meeting. There is no doubt that he saved our son’s future, health and most importantly his life. Our son now has 4 years of sobriety (we have our son back) and our son is helping others to get their lives back. I consider Ari not only a great doctor, intelligent man and outstanding human, but also a friend. Parents or loved ones be prepared to look deep inside yourself. Ari can provide you with a positive outlook on your life also.”

“It’s hard to summarize the impact Dr Ari Gleckman has had on my life but I’m honored to try. My wife and I were introduced to Ari by a divorce attorney in a final, “Hail Mary” effort to save our marriage. While the first year of our professional relationship was spent as a couple, I’ve now had the pleasure of seeing Dr Gleckman 1:1 for the past year. He’s literally helped me transform my life, my marriage, my family, and my work. After seeing numerous therapists prior to Dr Gleckman, I was skeptical the first time I walked into his cozy home office. It turns out I needed a therapist that would offer direct feedback, hold me and my wife and kids radically accountable, and provide tough love and a custom treatment plan - all of which I found in Dr Gleckman. He’s unique in every way. His concierge approach makes you feel as if you are his only client and his ability to adapt our care schedule to my demanding work schedule made for a perfect fit. Ari is a special person and has helped me transform my life in so many positive ways. I would highly recommend Dr Gleckman to anyone.”

“My story began almost twenty years ago to the day. I handed my family doctor a piece of paper with concerns to be addressed during the appointment. The last word written at the bottom of the page was “abuse,” which was the primary reason for my visit. I was too ashamed to speak the words audibly. What then followed was a referral... And so my journey with Dr. Gleckman began.

I had sought help from others previously, but overall they found it hard to believe that my husband could be abusive. So, I was left feeling alone, discounted, and terrified that if no one believed me that I would not survive. In comes Dr. Gleckman, who HEARD my plea for help and believed me, and immediately addressed my need for safety. What followed was his holistic person and problem-focused therapy, which for me was as unique as he is. His ultimate concern for his client is to help them achieve the highest level of mental, physical, social, and spiritual wellbeing. This was made abundantly clear early on, and facilitated a working relationship based on a foundation of mutual respect, and powered by Dr. Gleckman’s professional experience. As my therapy progressed, he brought all available resources appropriate for my needs to help heal these wounds and move me toward health. Because he set the foundation of trust, I was able to feel safe, communicate openly, and work hard at the process of recovery. We addressed multiple areas of brokenness both past and present. There were many tears, but there was also laughter. The darkness of our pain can only be healed when it is exposed to the light. So, talk about it! I am here today working as a nurse, because Dr. Gleckman listened, encouraged, and directed me toward choosing life. For this and so much more I am forever grateful.

Today I can tell you that if you are currently or ever have experienced brokenness in any way, and are ready to move forward in life, you can trust that Dr. Gleckman is fully committed to your recovery, just as he was mine so many years ago. But be willing to work hard, be open, communicate truthfully, and then trust that the process will bring the reward of a healthier life for you. And as the good doctor says, “Be well, my friend!”

“After working for 8 years at a psychiatric clinic to treat my now 18 year old son who has dealt with ADD, grief of his father’s death 9 years ago, anxiety and depression and in the past few years an increasing amount of very heavy pot use to deal with life, a family member referred me to Dr. Gleckman. She had been referred to see him by yet another family member. They all had different issues. I had no clue they were seeing Dr. Gleckman. But, because it was very evident that what I had been doing to try to help my son as a parent was not working.. (he was in crisis...I was in crisis mode and finally realized, as a single mom) I finally.... reluctantly...reached out to family and was connected to Dr. Gleckman.

I trusted the doctors my son had seen for years and admittedly was not only a helicopter mom, but also over compensating for the struggles he has dealt with at a young age (Divorce, Death of his father, and his own mental health struggles). While it took me a few weeks to truly listen and respect what Dr. Gleckman’s evaluation of my son’s diagnosis and how I contributed to his current state, his approach with facts and respect are grounding. You have to be willing to hear and accept reality. You have to be open to want to be and do better, for not just your teen/young adult, but also for yourself. In the less than 3 months that my son and I worked in partnership with Ari, he made a huge impact on the wellbeing of my son and myself. He will help you. He will change you in the most thoughtful way. Trust me...IF YOU have the guts to want to change what is happening in your own life or your child’s life etc., Dr. Gleckman and his unique, authentic, informed personality and tactics will save your life. Or your child’s life. Trust me. Call me if you want to hear more. He’s got you. ”
