Ryan Glathar, LMFT

Ryan Glathar is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 17 years of clinical experience. She approaches therapy with the belief that people deserve and can achieve fuller, healthier lives, and she partners with clients to identify the patterns and obstacles that keep them from feeling their best. Building a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and respect is central to her work - she treats the opportunity to know a client as a privilege and strives to create a collaborative, empathetic space for change.

Ryan has worked with a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, stress and anxiety, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, parenting difficulties, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses more specific focuses such as abandonment, attachment and codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, infidelity, and family-of-origin issues. Her practice supports clients facing life transitions, career stress, compassion fatigue, and the complex emotions that often accompany recovery and healing.

Rather than relying on a single method, Ryan tailors her approach to each person. She draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas to match interventions to a client's needs and goals. She guides clients through the ups and downs of change, offering practical tools and empathic support as they take steps toward healthier relationships and greater emotional balance.
