Jake Glassman, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jake!

I specialize in helping men work through the weight of trauma, stress, and life’s hardest moments. My goal is to help you break free from that cycle, feel more grounded, and start building the life you actually want.

My focus

My ideal client is one who is ready to dive deeply into who they are and is willing to take actionable change to better their lives. One who is motivated to be a greater version of themselves. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I want to be on your team to help you grow, heal, and learn about yourself.

My approach

I use a variety of modalities depending on my client's needs. This includes CBT, ACT, EMDR, and IFS. I believe these treatments address both deep past wounds that can be affecting you today, as well as practical, actionable steps to improve your life.

My communication style

I use a grounded, down-to-earth style that also isn't afraid to give you honest feedback. I also provide some work for you outside of sessions, as I believe most growth happens outside of therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up as a man comes with its own set of issues. I believe my own experiences and dealing with my own mental health struggles have given me deeper insight to help other men, in addition to my foundational education and training. Every practical tool that I teach my clients is something that I use myself on a regular basis.

My goals for you

Together, we'll come up with a treatment plan with actionable, attainable, and measurable goals. I believe success in therapy should be measured by the change we can observe, as well as your own subjective experience. We'll check in periodically to see if we need to update your goals or continue down the same path.

Our first session

We will explore your life from a holistic perspective, gathering relevant information and life history that may be contributing to your mental struggles. This will allow you space to discuss what brings you to therapy and also an opportunity to get to know me as your provider.
