About Jennifer Ferris-Glick
Owner of Above to Below
I am the founder and owner of Above to Below, a pre-licensure therapy and consulting practice established in 2020. My approach integrates structured frameworks informed by mindfulness, CBT, Gestalt and trauma-informed practices for self-exploration and healing. Jennifer's focus is rooted at the intersection of spiritual practices (specifically Judaism) and mental health and wellness. I am committed to continually expanding my knowledge and expertise.
I LOVE learning. I am pursuing a Masters of Science in Counseling Psychology from Chatham University. I am an EMDR Therapist (in-training). I am a practicing Vedic meditator and Kriya Yoga initiate. I hold a 200-Hr Yoga Teacher Certification from Serenity Yoga.
I serve as a Jewish Educator for BBYO International, speaking at conferences, camps and international events. I also work in as a training facilitator for the BBYO Center for Adolescent Wellness teaching both youth and professionals who are young adult and youth facing organizations; Mental Health First Aid (teen and youth), safe environments, boundaries, resilience building, how to deal with secondary trauma and empathy fatigue, and trauma. I am dedicated to equipping individuals with the tools and knowledge to provide support to those in need.
In my role as a board member and president of the Goldman Institute for Social Research, I lead the organization in setting strategic direction and vision, leveraging my skills in mindful leadership, values alignment, and new business development to drive positive impact and foster collaboration among diverse stakeholders. Since 2022, I have been instrumental in advancing cutting-edge research and advocacy on social justice issues.
Additionally, I serve as the chair of education and programming for the Women's Council at the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh. In this capacity, I spearhead initiatives to promote education and empowerment within the community, furthering my commitment to fostering growth and development across diverse contexts.
