Since our initial assessment, I have had the pleasure of connecting with Gloria very quickly, an experience that has greatly surpassed my previous interactions with practitioners and professionals. Having faced challenges in trusting healthcare providers due to past experiences, I am genuinely thankful that Gloria has proven to be an exception.Gloria exemplifies professionalism, kindness, and empathy. She consistently advocates for me when I need extra support, always going above and beyond. Any questions I have are answered promptly, and she is always there to provide assistance whenever I need it.As a military veteran who has faced multiple mental health diagnoses, physical limitations, substance use disorder, and incarceration, I struggled to gain control of my life until I prioritized my sobriety. Gloria and I now work hand in hand to overcome barriers and maintain a steady, family-oriented lifestyle.To anyone contemplating taking the significant step of seeking help, I wholeheartedly recommend Gloria. I have worked with many therapists in the past, but none have been able to assist me in the transformative ways she has.I wish you all the best.Sincerely,Kory

I’ve had the privilege of working with Gloria as my couples therapist, and I cannot recommend her enough. From the moment we started our sessions, she created a safe, non-judgmental space for both of us to be heard and understood. Gloria’s approach is thoughtful, compassionate, and genuinely tailored to our unique relationship. She listens carefully, asks insightful questions, and helps us navigate even the toughest conversations with patience and clarity.What sets Gloria apart is her ability to help us not only identify the issues but also provide actionable tools to improve communication and strengthen our connection. Her calm demeanor and professional expertise have made a profound impact on our relationship, and we are grateful for her guidance. If you're looking for a therapist who truly cares about your relationship’s well-being and provides meaningful support, Gloria is the one to turn to!

Gloria’s been my therapist for a while she’s gotten me through a lot of difficult times in my life and she’s a very genuine and supportive person. I feel comfortable at the Orangeville clinic. She is very professional at the same time. I feel very relaxed and comfortable at her clinic in during sessions.She’s a great advocate and if you have any issues with work related or mental health related, I highly recommend Gloria

Gloria is a wonderful, amazing, compassionate person. After struggling through several other online therapists, going in person to this amazing human being has helped me so much.As someone with ADHD, sessions with Gloria are a delight and help me feel so settled and the brain juices happy.As well, this year has been slightly insane and gone off the rails for me a few times, and Gloria is always there to support and help me through.

Gloria is always very professional, kind and compassionate. She will listen without judgement and will provide helpful guidance to aid in your recovery. All of her book recommendations and other type of therapies (meditations, body scans, etc.)have all been relevant and have significantly aided in my treatment. Gloria is obviously very passionate about her work and truly cares about helping people significantly improve their lives. I would never hesitate to recommend Gloria to anyone who feels like they are truly hopeless and need somewhere to turn.

I didn’t think much of therapy beforehand, but I can now say without any doubt that Gloria has changed my outlook on life and has helped me have such a healthier mindset to focus on what’s important in life and important for me to thrive. I cannot say enough how appropriative I am. Gloria is an amazing listener and provides techniques and steps to help you improve in whatever you are doing.

I wasn't sure what to expect from therapy but my sessions have been invaluable. Gloria has made me feel completely at ease discussing anything that was on my mind, and being able to let my guard down and express difficult emotions. Her patience, understanding, guidance and support have helped me during this difficult time in my life. I would definitely recommend her and I am very glad to know she is there if I need any future help.Thank you Gloria!!!

I chose this place because something gravitated to this particular clinic. When I arrived and got to know Gloria, and instantly, I knew why. Firstly, I was welcomed into a clean, professional and safe space where I felt comfortable. Gloria, where do I start, she is a wonderful women with compassion and knowledge, she is quite amazing. Her heart shines through in everything she does and I couldn't of chosen a better fit for myself. She has helped me dig deep and really open my mind to see things I didn't before. Useful strategies and sometimes some tough much needed love. I appreciate you more than you know and keep blessing people with your calm caring nature. You rock !

Addiction Counselling for Individuals and Families

AERCS counsellors can help with your addiction issues through individual counselling and by offering programs and services as they become available.

Counselors in this field help addicts and provide a necessary support system for individuals recovering from eating disorders, drug and alcohol issues, gambling addictions, and other behavioral issues.

In addition to working directly with clients, addiction counsellors help educate and can play a role in preventing relapses, and in promoting the subject’s ongoing health and wellbeing.

Anger Management Classes.

Anger management is a psycho-therapeutic program for identifying and dealing with anger. Participants learn how to channel this destructive emotion into a positive energy for change. It has been described as deploying anger successfully. Anger frequently results from a sense of frustration, from being denied something important.

AERCS anger management classes meet employer and court requirements across Canada and are designed to accommodate your schedule and finances. We offer an informative and practical step-by-step program for building better relationships, greater productivity, and for having an overall healthier approach to life itself.

“After being in such a bad place I found all the assistance and help to overcome my problems and face forward with a better outlook. Everyone was caring and showed empathy to me and Gloria especially was ‘the best’. Thank you so much”

Darlene

“I am a recovering alcoholic. I am proudly able to say that today. I am alive and sober, something I believe may not of been possible if not for Gloria. She is kind, understanding, straightforward and such a bright soul. She knew me as an active alcoholic and never once passed judgment. Her advice and instructions were always so helpful, even in my darkest moments. Gloria is a big chapter in my story of recovery and I will be forever grateful for her. Highly recommend to say the least?”

Heather

“I was looking for a therapist who was skilled at treating C-PTSD and trauma and Gloria and her team have surpassed all expectations. I would highly recommend the AERCS team to any military personal who have deployed, first responders or front line workers looking for a warm, empathetic and highly trained therapist.”
