Therapist

I believe that holding space for healing is connected to my divine purpose. Growing up, I spent many moments with my mom gazing at the moon as it illuminated the lake—a place filled with memories. The moon became my teacher, offering me the most important lesson I’ve come to know: it is in the darkness where we often find the most profound beauty and light. I’ve carried this lesson with me throughout my life, continually learning how even in my most challenging and painful times, there is always the potential for healing and growth.

As human beings, we all carry patterns—some of which support our wellbeing and others that no longer serve us. These patterns can become deeply ingrained, leading us into cycles of addiction, anxiety, depression, and other mental health struggles. These patterns are often the psyche's attempts to protect us from unhealed wounds, many of which have been buried, avoided, or numbed over time. But I know from my own journey, and from walking alongside countless others, that facing these wounds is the key to healing.

I believe that one of the most powerful tools for healing is the creation of secure attachment within the therapeutic relationship.Sometimes, the first person who truly shows you unconditional love and kindness is a therapist. From my own experience, I have witnessed how profound healing can be when we allow ourselves to be truly seen by another. My role is to hold that space for you—gently confronting you when necessary, but always with love and consistency. This is the essence of secure attachment and the emotional corrective experience that facilitates growth. It’s within this compassionate space that you can experience what healthy, nurturing love feels like—and eventually, learn to offer that same love to yourself.

I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey, to support you in shedding old layers, and to help you step into a version of yourself that is whole, healed, and free.

Dana Glasser

Dana Glasser

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Dana — a clinical social worker and certified life coach who believes that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I completed both my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Social Work with an emphasis on Psychiatric Social Work. Over the years, I’ve served as a Clinical Program Director in both board-and-cares and case management programs, supporting individuals as they process and heal from trauma, narcissistic abuse, grief and loss, and major life transitions. I supported them as they moved towards greater independence and peace.

Clients often describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. My approach is warm, flexible and collaborative . I believe therapy works best when we are aligned and make decisions together. I draw from a range of evidence-based methods, including DBT, EMDR, the Gottman Method, Motivational Interviewing, and ADHD/Neurodivergent Coaching, to create a plan that fits each person’s unique needs.

At the heart of my work is a strength-based and solution-focused philosophy: I help clients uncover their resilience, develop practical coping skills, and move toward a life of clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in California

Searching for therapists in California means choosing from a wide and varied mental health care landscape. Available therapists and areas of focus can differ across urban, suburban, and rural parts of the state, so it helps to start with what you want support for. You might look for a therapist with experience in anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. From there, review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy style, and background to see whether their training matches what you want from care.

Location and format also shape your search. In Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and other parts of California, you may find therapists who offer in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or both. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual appointments for schedule fit or access outside their immediate area. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. A therapist’s bio can help you understand what sessions may be like before you book.

The cost of therapy in California varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find California therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and may take your insurance. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
