Welcome to Thrive! I’m Scott Glassman, PsyD, a licensed psychologist who works with adults and adolescents using an evidence-based, collaborative approach to therapy that combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy and positive psychology. I am currently accepting new clients for telehealth therapy and invite you to explore whether my approach may be a good fit for your needs. In the sections below, you’ll find information about my clinical focus, practice policies, and what you can expect from working together.
My Clinical Approach
I work with adults, couples, and teens who want more than symptom relief. They want to feel grounded, confident, and inspired in their lives. My approach integrates evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and positive psychology, helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, and unhelpful thinking patterns while also building resilience, meaning, and well-being. Together, we identify what’s getting in the way, strengthen practical coping skills, and intentionally cultivate strengths. I often bring in practices around gratitude, self-compassion, and values exploration. Sessions are collaborative, structured, and supportive, with an emphasis on tools you can use in daily life. My clients seek thoughtful, growth-oriented therapy that supports both emotional healing and lasting personal flourishing.
To see if we would be a good fit, I recommend reading the FAQ below before scheduling an initial consultation. If you have questions, please reach out to me at hello@scottglassman.com.
FAQ
What do you love about working with clients?
What I love most about working with clients is witnessing the moment when something clicks, when insight turns into self-compassion, confidence, or a new way of responding to life’s challenges. I’m deeply drawn to helping people recognize their strengths, challenge limiting patterns, and reconnect with what gives their lives meaning. It’s an honor to walk alongside clients as they grow, heal, and realize they’re more capable than they once believed.
Which diagnoses are you skilled at treating?
Which client populations do you treat?
I work with adolescents (ages 13 and older), adults, and older adults across a wide range of life stages, backgrounds, and obstacles in life. This includes young adults navigating identity development, relationships, academic or career stress, and life transitions; midlife adults managing burnout, caregiving responsibilities, health concerns, or shifts in purpose; and older adults adjusting to retirement, loss, or changing roles. I also work with professionals, athletes, and other high-achieving individuals seeking support around stress management, performance, balance, and well-being. Services are tailored to each person’s developmental stage, goals, and lived experience.
What is your approach to therapy?
My approach to therapy is intentional, collaborative, and designed to support meaningful progress efficiently. Early work focuses on gaining a clear understanding of strengths and areas that need care or reinforcement. I’ve developed a Scope of Flourishing assessment that will give us a clear idea of which areas of well-being are stronger and weaker across 8 key dimensions: mindfulness/savoring, personal strengths, gratitude, lightness, activities, kindness, love, and transcendence. I’ll provide a full written report to you early on in our work together and we’ll use that as a guide throughout.
Sessions follow a purposeful structure that balances reflection with skill-building, helping you understand not just what you’re experiencing, but how to work with it. Growth is accelerated through suggestions for practice between sessions where new strategies are applied in real-life contexts and then refined. Flexibility and responsivity are key! A thought record may be a great first step for some, but not others. We may want to start with gratitude practice and a values-in-action exploration. I adapt positive psychology tools to address specific domains of nurturance such as emotional regulation, purpose, vitality, connection, or self-compassion—so therapy remains both personalized and relevant as your needs evolve. As part of our work together, I’ll send you a copy of my book A Happier You, which serves as a companion guide with encouragement and extra exercises across the 8 dimensions of well-being we focus on.
Why did you become a therapist?
What’s important to know about your practice?
My practice is designed to provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychological care in a setting that is collaborative, respectful, and transparent. I aim to create a therapeutic relationship grounded in clarity—about how I work, what you can expect, and the practical details of engaging in therapy.
I provide individual therapy via secure telehealth for adults and adolescents located in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and other PSYPACT-participating states. Due to licensing regulations, I am not able to provide therapeutic services to individuals residing in the following states: Alaska, California, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Montana, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Puerto Rico.
My practice operates on a private-pay basis, with payment due on the day services are provided. The fee for a 60-minute individual therapy session is $175. The initial consultation fee is a separate service and is also $175. I do not accept insurance and do not submit claims or provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. This model allows me to focus fully on your goals and the therapeutic process, without the administrative constraints of insurance-based care.
I value clear boundaries and shared responsibility in the therapeutic relationship. This includes transparent communication about fees, scheduling, and practice policies, as well as a mutual commitment to using our time together intentionally and productively.
Therapy is most effective when there is a good fit. I encourage prospective clients to review the information above carefully to determine whether my approach, structure, and practice model align with their needs before reaching out to schedule an initial consultation.
