Jacob W. Glazier, PhD
Assistant Professor of Psychology
Licensed Professional Counselor
I'm Dr. Jake Glazier, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and psychologist. For more than a decade, I've worked with college students and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, trauma, grief, questions of identity, and the many challenges that come with being human. Alongside my clinical work, I serve as an Assistant Professor of Psychology, teaching undergraduate and graduate students. My academic work continually reminds me that every person's story is unique—and that healing begins by taking that story seriously.
