Client Testimonials

"I felt pretty lost when I started working with Gloria. I was terrified I’d end up alone for the rest of my life and also terrified of commitment. Relationships were really hard for me. I was so embarrassed about my kinky side even though I knew I needed it. Working with Gloria changed my whole life for the better. I learned how to look for a wife, not just a hook-up, and followed her advice on how to improve my own self-esteem. Today I’m happily married with three beautiful kids and I owe it all to Dr. Brame."

"Dr. Brame has helped me personally so many times and in so many ways with her deep knowledge of her specialty subjects. There is no substitution for the kind of knowledge and experience she has, and that coupled with her true compassion and understanding has been invaluable for me. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with issues involving sex, no matter if it is kink-related, vanilla, or anywhere in between. She has an open and understanding mind, an open heart, and the smarts to back it all up. She has made my life a better and happier place, and helped me to understand and make friends with myself and the rest of the world."
J. H.
"Dr. Gloria Brame did in one phone session for my Daddy Dom and what another therapist couldn’t do in eight sessions — she provided invaluable insights unique to our situation/dynamics of Big/little, and wisdom that could only come from someone with experience in D/s lifestyles herself. That hour session we spent with Dr. Gloria turned everything around; we came away with new ways to talk to one another and honor our needs that we can refer to and practice daily. I highly recommend Dr. Gloria for individual therapy as well, which I booked with her in the past, when she helped me through a tough phase. Don’t miss out on an extraordinary opportunity to get what may be much-needed help from someone who truly wants to help."
L. D.
"After 20+ years of dealing with mental illness, I had the worst, most deeply traumatic breakdown of my life, and had no access to medication or therapeutic resources. Although I was not her patient, in one emergency weekend Skype session, it is no exaggeration to say that Dr. Brame literally saved my life, both short- and long-term. She helped me move past immediate suicidal impulses inside an hour, and provided impetus for me to find other, local resources to manage the situation going forward. I am not completely recovered, nor do I ever expect to be, but I am alive and back to accomplishing things with my life, neither of which would be true without her involvement."
M. C.
Amazing, insightful and brilliant. Gloria has the ability to handle the most sensitive and personal of topics with care and love. She is superb at bringing to light those solutions that others miss. Without a doubt the most effective professional that I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Gloria and working with her is one of the very best choices I’ve ever made.

"Hello Dr. Brame, It’s been almost exactly ten years but I am in a position to vocally appreciate everything you did for me back I wanted to say thank you for accepting an unusual patient and for the guidance you provided. I feel much more at home with myself thanks to our discussions."
T. D.
"I have been seeing Gloria for 18 months already and she has helped me change my life. Finding a therapist who can connect with your personal issues has proven difficult in the past and I am so grateful to have found Gloria. She has incredible knowledge and insight and direction that helps in long term and short term scenarios. She has been there for me when I needed her most. 5/5 is an understatement here. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."
Rebecca D.5-Star Review on Yelp
"She deals with a sensitive subject with professionalism, sensitivity and a thorough knowledge of the presenting issues. She is astute, caring and truly gender sensitive. Don't settle, make an appointment!"
T. L.
"I wanted to say how much I appreciate your help as I navigate this path. I woke up this morning feeling good...empowered and even excited. Thank you for your support and guidance. Truly appreciated."
S.S.
"Dr. Brame is the most compassionate human being and she truly understands the complexities of brain health and development. She taught me acceptance, accountability and gave me the tools to live and love fully ... The life tools that saved my life and my marriage. I highly recommend her services, videos and page-turner books."

"Gloria is refreshing, honest, and unique. I like to hear what she has to say."
