Dr. Glenna Anderson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 23 mi away • Torrance, CA


When I was a kid, I often got in trouble for being too loud with asking questions and calling adults out on things that didn’t seem fair to me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an advocate of some kind. A career in social work, then, made total sense to me when I discovered the field as an undergraduate at San Jose State.

Two more degrees and a license later, I still carry the spirit of that little girl, fighting for the underserved. I have a long history of diagnosing and treating adults with severe and chronic mental illness. I take my work very seriously and it’s important to me to help my clients heal, grow, and thrive.

My clients seek my services as a way to recuperate from lifetimes of overworking themselves into worthiness. I guide them toward unlearning the things that taught them they weren’t enough. I give them the tools they need to create wellness and wholeness in a way that’s unique to who they are.

Through my private practice and my brand, Therapy is a Lifestyle, I want to help you see yourself in new ways - without the lens of your trauma. I specialize in anxiety disorders, EMDR, and other trauma-informed approaches to help you do that.

Let’s take the journey toward your recovery, together. Being here is your first step!

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Pasadena

Finding OCD therapists in Pasadena starts with looking for training that matches obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can include intrusive thoughts, contamination concerns, checking behaviors, compulsions, and related anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or direct experience supporting people living with OCD.

Pasadena has a focused local mental health care market, so virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access to a therapist with specific OCD training. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may offer support, while a therapist with specific ERP training may be a closer fit for OCD-focused care. Read therapist bios before booking to understand their approach, session style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans and offer clear profile details. You can compare therapists, review bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
