About
The Educator behind the work
Licensed Mental Health Clinician, Certified Cannabis Educator, and Advocate for communities that deserve better information.
Sarie McGlone, LCPC, CCE
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor · Certified Cannabis Educator · Maryland
Sarie is a therapist, educator, and advocate whose work sits at the intersection of mental health, cultural healing, and cannabis literacy. She brings clinical training, community care, and a genuine commitment to accessible education to every training she delivers.
Her approach is simple: people deserve accurate information without judgment, and communities are better equipped when they are educated rather than afraid. Cannabis has a complex history — one that includes race, policy, medicine, and culture — and Sarie holds all of that in every room she enters.
Before developing her consulting practice, Sarie spent years working directly with individuals navigating mental health, trauma, and substance use. That clinical foundation shapes everything she teaches.
