Jeff Glab, LSW

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with a background as a teacher, coach, and former athlete. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, especially those who are navigating the pressures of school, sports, identity, and mental health. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in the classroom and on the field, supporting students and athletes as they pushed through challenges, setbacks, and self-doubt. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to perform under pressure, find your voice, or bounce back from a tough loss, whether that’s in sports, academics, or life. Those experiences taught me how to listen actively, communicate clearly, and motivate people from all walks of life. Today, I bring that same energy, adaptability, and compassion into my clinical practice. Today, I bring that experience into the therapy room. I offer a supportive space where young people can open up, feel heard, and begin to understand themselves more deeply. My approach is practical, relatable, and rooted in evidence-based methods. I work with issues like anxiety, motivation, identity, performance stress, substance use, and family conflict, always with respect for each client’s unique story and strengths. I believe that therapy can be a powerful tool for building confidence, emotional awareness, and lasting change. Whether you’re an athlete trying to find balance, a teen feeling stuck, or a parent looking for support, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and purpose. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is life. I draw from my diverse professional and personal experiences to offer practical insight, heartfelt support, and a strong belief in your capacity for resilience and transformation. During my time away from the office, I’m fortunate enough to have two children (a 20-year-old daughter and 17-year-old son) who certainly keep me on my toes! Watching them grow through this very difficult stage in life has given me a real sense of the challenges they face, too. I’m a baseball lover and spend much of my time watching my beloved Milwaukee Brewers! In the fall, I bleed blue and orange cheering on my forever team, the Chicago Bears! I love summer festivals and concerts, and I try to get out to as many as I can before the weather turns!
