Philosophy
.
The problems that you are experiencing in your relationships
are, in fact, common. All too often, too many couples prematurely
end their relationships without thinking ahead. Without
realizing that they will be in the same exact situation
in the future with another partner. Without realizing the turmoil and trauma that ending a relationship can cause. Making a long-term committed relationship successful
is hard work, but both individuals in the relationship can save each other from real financial and psychological destruction and more pain and stress
in the future by confronting issues and learning new skills and approaches
now.
Sometimes, even after counseling, both parties decide that it is in everyones best interest to end the relationship. But for these clients, they understand their patterns and are in a better position to avoid common mistakes. Now they can avoid repeating their failures and are set up for success in their next relationship.
Dr. Gloria is here to coach you and your partner. And for the first time in history, couples are saving relationships virtually by working with Dr. Gloria via Zoom. Dr. Gloria has taught best practices in all areas of relationships including communication skills, resolving differences, language usage, showing love, sexual intimacy, regaining trust, resolving infidelity, fair fighting, negotiations and keeping agreements. The results will help you improve
your relationship and help you live a happier, more intimate and fulfilled
life. The therapy is goal oriented, it begins with your objectives and ends
when we have achieved them. |

Approach
.
Dr. Gloria's
practice is devoted to help you achieve your goals, improve, save and rekindle your relationship. Therapy is focused; interactive, and structured
to solve the issues that are causing your relationship turmoil. Cognitive (thoughts driving
behavior) affective (emotions driving behavior) and behavioral
(action driving behavior) approaches are integrated seemlessly. Together, the team
obtains success by using Dr. Gloria proprietary system. The approach is based on my Dr. Gloria's research, consulting with other experts in the field and working to constantly re-establish best practices with thousands of clients
helping them improve their relationships. Some of the more common issues that I deal with include:
Set expectations and relationship goals
Learn new communication
skills and approaches
Rebuild and improve trust after infidelity
Manage relationship issues that include anger, depression or stress
Improve sexual, romance and intimacy issues
Change the way you argue and resolve differences
Learn to forgive your partner for past mistakes
Navigate life transitions including marriage, step parenting, new kids, jobs, illness, relationships with in-laws
Fulfill emotional needs and intimacy
Manage situations involving long-distance or frequent executive travel
Resolve conflicts involving financial resources, time management, different parenting styles |

Success
stories
.
The
most critical factors for successful counseling are for the therapist to be able to accurately understand
your feelings, concerns and needs, have an accepting nonjudgmental
attitude, and have the experience to solve the relationship issues. The development
of a positive, trusting relationship with the therapist
is also critical. Other essential factors required are that
each person is motivated to change. |

We saw you for three months last year and the counseling was very helpful. I think Stan and I need to return for a refresh.

client email:
I am writing to THANK YOU Dr. Gloria, for all your expertise and passionate help with our marital issues and unique situation. Our relationship now is better than it has ever been. And we are both very happy to be together. I could never thank you enough for helping us with "us."
Recent
client email:
"My husband and I really owe our renewed intimate relationship and new addition to you. Without your support, there would be no date nights, no long walks, no bubble baths, no flowers and no future. Now we are excited to announce that we are pregnant. Can you believe it?! Thank you for everything!"
Recent
client email:
"I had to write to you to thank you. We have just had a fabulous couple of months and I know it is because of you. Your direct approach and focus on new skills and strategy seemed to yank us out of a downward spiral. I must admit I had little hope when we first went to you, and by our last visit I felt transformed. Last weekend my husband gave me a surprise 50th birthday party that totally surprised me and totally touched me as well. I feel an aliveness in our marriage that is quite remarkable. Thank you - from my overflowing grateful heart."
Recent
client email:
...and I have been talking and we feel like we've worked out the big issues between us to our satisfaction, so we won't be needing your help anymore. It's probably not a coincidence that I asked her to marry me: we had a big talk a while back and I started seeing things differently, and proposed a few days later. Thanks for your help!

client email:
"Just wanted to share with you that in July, we are having an addition to our family. I wanted to thank you for that because our child will be arriving because of you."

client quote:
"We
celebrated our one year wedding anniversary and went to
Aruba for the week. Now we are looking forward to moving
into our new home and getting ready for the baby. We couldn't
be happier and we owe it all to you."

"Dr.
Gloria, thank you for helping us save our relationship. It means everything to me."

As much as I am certain that my relationship is over, for the sake of my children, I am willing to try counseling and I have heard wonderful things about you. |
