Hello, I am Gloria Gitlin, a licensed professional counselor with forty-two years of clinical experience.

Everyone has a story to tell. Sometimes it is filled with dark twists and turns, shadows, and the unexpected. Other times it is full of light, gentle breezes, and warmth. Stories are often full of both and it can be daunting to try and revisit some of the harder chapters alone. I offer a place of solace for your stories. A place where we can open and read each chapter of it together, learn from them, and gather tools to face the battles ahead. A place where we can challenge the things that still haunt us from these stories, and then put them on a shelf, a reminder of where you came from and what you’ve overcome.

My approach is Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness-based Cognitive, Solution Focused Brief Therapies. However, the treatment modalities are tailored specifically to you and/or your families therapeutic needs. I will encourage you to examine how your thinking influence the way you behave. In counseling I will also teach you breathing and visualization techniques to help you put your mind and soul in a calmer state when faced with challenges. I will guide you on your journey of self discovery and help you locate the root /original cause of the issue so that you can move toward a place of healing.

I believe every person deserves to live their best life. That looks different for each person in every walk of life.

I'm a person-centered therapist who is passionate about helping young adults overcome childhood trauma and emotional/psychological abuse. I know what it's like to feel stuck, to second guess yourself, and to struggle with trusting others. Low self-worth, anxiety, stress, fear, and difficulty expressing/controlling emotions can be debilitating. Often times, these struggles come with dysfunctional beliefs and negative thinking. You are not alone. Healthy & meaningful relationships are attainable. Hope can be restored, healing can be found, and life can be renewed.

Has your relationship been difficult lately? Feeling disconnected? Full of misunderstandings? Trying to overcome issues of infidelity, betrayal, aggressiveness? Are you feeling frustrated, but still have hope that your relationship can last? Or have you suffered a great loss recently? Grief and loss come in many forms. Was it the loss of a loved one by death? Loss of a job that meant so much to you that it has shaken your self-identity? Loss of a partner via a break-up and you're finding it hard to overcome your sadness? Let's work through it. I am here to guide and support you in your journey to mental and emotional wellness again.

Are you experiencing relationship issues? Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells in your relationship? Are you feeling confused about what is happening to you or still feeling the effects of past or ongoing trauma? Perhaps you’re in a bad relationship or have had a series of bad relationships or history of trauma. This can lead to you feeling like you are stuck in anxiety and depression and get in the way of living a fulfilled life. Life can bring about a number of unexpected challenges, often leaving us vulnerable and deeply impacted. You can reclaim yourself and your life and I am here to help you!

Whether you’re processing a recent event, a lifetime of experiences, or faced with a difficult decision, I’m here for it. Feelings and emotions are real and impact our lives significantly. Sometimes they get heavy and need to be unloaded, but not always do we have a safe place to do that. We fear judgment and rejection if we share too much with those around us, or hesitate sharing for fear of being a burden. I provide a space for you to share, express your genuine self, and explore thoughts and ideas to process whatever’s holding you back.

I firmly believe in the power of personal connection. I understand that each individual is unique, with their own set of experiences, struggles, and aspirations. It is through fostering a genuine and empathetic relationship that I can truly help my clients navigate their challenges. In today's fast-paced world, where technology often replaces face-to-face interactions, personal connection has become more crucial than ever. I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can freely express themselves.

Often, we underestimate the profound impact that life's experiences have on us and the burden we carry everyday. Our minds play a crucial role in shaping our thoughts, emotions, and actions, both within ourselves and in our relationships with others. Whether it is the grasp of depression, the grip of anxiety, the strain of stress, the ache of grief, the scars of trauma, or the strain of conflict, the mind yearns for liberation, a release from its shackles, and the ability to function freely.

I have worked with all levels of addiction, Bexar County Probation, in-patient recovery, wounded transition for military members, domestic violence, and crisis intervention.

As humans our deepest longing is connection. To know that we are seen and heard by those around us gives us the courage to approach the healing process. I will meet you where you are at and listen without bias or judgment. As we walk this journey together I will be there to cheer you on, challenge your fears and thinking patterns and give you strategies to find your true self.

I help you to change habits, feelings and thoughts that aren't supporting you right now, using the power of your subconscious mind. My clients usually come to me when something is getting in the way of their feeling good or doing well. It could be to stop smoking or another 'bad' habit, a weight issue, under-performance in sports or school, stress or frustration at work or at home, relationship challenges from the past or in the present, or simply stop doing what isn't working and start doing what is, making it easy and automatic within the mind.
