I have over 25 years of clinical experience working in various settings including my own practice for the past 17 years. I enjoy working with my clients and one of the first things I tell them is that I’m very laid back and I want them to feel comfortable during this process.

My work centers on helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem challenges, and relationship concerns. I take a collaborative, client-centered approach, integrating modalities like CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support meaningful, lasting change. I strive to create a warm, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore all parts of themselves, including identity, relationships, and personal growth. I work best with clients who are open to reflection and committed to doing the work both in and outside of session.

Baruch Glazer

Baruch Glazer

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I'm Baruch Glazer, an LCSW specializing in depth-oriented therapy with young adults navigating authenticity, meaning, and identity.

My Journey

I struggled with anxiety and depression for years before I discovered therapy. What changed everything wasn't symptom management—it was depth. Learning to actually understand myself, to sit with discomfort instead of optimize it away, to accept myself differently. That depth-oriented work didn't just ease my symptoms. It helped me become someone I'm proud of.

That experience fundamentally shapes how I work with clients.

Tanya Anderson

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Life can pull you in a lot of directions, and it helps to have someone in your corner who sees the whole you.

I'm Tanya Anderson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I have worked with clients in schools, private practice, and community settings, most recently supporting students and families in Prince George's County. I take a holistic, person-centered approach that considers your mind, body, and spirit, and I bring my full, authentic self into the room. I think of myself as a "perfectly imperfect" therapist: human, real, and here to build genuine trust with you. If you are looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to grow, I would love to work together.
