About Me
I’m Carrie Glaser, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate based in Los Angeles, CA. My academic and professional background includes earning a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, after graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from the University of Wisconsin—Madison. I have therapeutic and dietary experience in an eating disorder treatment setting. I completed my clinical training at the Southern California Counseling Center, where I worked with diverse populations facing a wide range of concerns.
I’ve always been drawn to stories—how our past experiences and relationships shape who we are today, coming together like puzzle pieces. My early career in the entertainment industry was fueled by this passion, but I eventually realized I wanted to explore people’s stories in a more meaningful and personal way. That realization led me to pursue a career as a therapist, where I now help clients unpack their experiences, process pain, and build more fulfilling lives.
I know firsthand how valuable therapy can be. My decision to become a therapist was heavily influenced by my own therapeutic work with a longtime therapist who helped clarify my direction. That experience inspired me to do for others what my therapist did for me—helping people envision and achieve the lives they want. Whatever brings you to therapy, my aim is to provide you with the understanding and tools you need to move forward. Whether you're struggling with disordered eating, seeking trauma-informed therapy, navigating relationship difficulties, or looking to build self-confidence and emotional resilience, I’m here to join you in this journey.
My Approach
As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental therapeutic environment through warmth, empathy, and authenticity. My goal is to build a meaningful therapeutic relationship that offers a sense of safety and trust. I believe the therapeutic relationship can be one of the most powerful tools for personal growth and healing. Together, we’ll explore your past, process your present, and imagine a future that aligns with what you truly want. My integrative approach draws from Attachment Theory, Family Systems, and evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These frameworks help reduce distressing symptoms like anxiety, depression, or overwhelm, while creating space for deeper, transformational healing.
Therapy is a collaborative process. I am here to help guide our exploration and assist you in recognizing the strength and resilience you already possess. I specialize in treating eating disorders and body image, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. I also have a particular passion for helping women work through the unique challenges they may face. This means we may explore topics including self-esteem, identity, childhood and family dynamics, and core values.
