Metropolitan MFT is a Home to Our Clients


We work with highly committed, motivated and success oriented Couples in a very interactive, hands-on, supportive, empathic, and resourceful environment in our NYC offices. We take our relationship with our clients very seriously. We create a safe haven, a home, a family for our clients.



There is Synergy in Our Partnership


We specialize in providing Couple Counseling, and other services and resources for Couples, as this is in alignment with Ms. Viglucci's passion, curiosity and interest in the welfare of Couples. She believes we heal, grow, and create in our partnership... She believes there is synergy in our relationship that has not been tapped, and when this is minded and nurtured it allows the couple to transcend ordinary relating promoting mindfulness, satisfaction, peace, elation and great achievement - including procreating healthy, happy and productive offspring as members of our society.


As we usually also parent in this relationship, Couples are the building block of families which in turn are the pillars of our society. There is much riding on a healthy, happy, satisfying, productive and synergetic relationship!



Our Significant Other is Our Life Partner!


The Couple is considered very significant and instrumental in our life. Our significant other is our "Life Partner." A title that shouldn't be taken lightly! It is believed that in partnership we can conquer the world. As a team we can do anything we want. This is a unique and ripe partnership where the universe is the limit! This is Mother Nature's way of saying, "I know life can be difficult... you don't have to do it alone - especially if you are ambitious!"



Our Clients Learn


Ms. Viglucci's vision is to see all Couples have a conscious and synergetic partnership where the partners are on the same page and working towards a common goal. Our services and resources guide our clients in achieving this vision. Our clients learn why and how they are stuck, how to break that cycle and hurtful pattern of relating, tons of tips, skills and tools on personal and couple success, how to resolve issues, address symptoms, including managing their anger, develop healthy coping mechanisms, get needs met, and manage their life together well - they Get on the Same Page and Create a Satisfying and Successful relationship! This is what Ms. Viglucci has termed the "MetroRelationship"



Our Services and Resources Propel Our Clients in their
MetroRelationship Journey!


The philosophy's focus on gaining relational understanding and safeguarding the couples connection as opposed to focusing on behavioral contracts and the individuals deficits has had a revolutionary impact in our clients' lives. Ms. Viglucci developed this Philosophy by drawing from works on human development, relationship enhancement, notions on success, and her own Theoretical Clinical Approach.


Her Theoretical Clinical Approach is integrative with its foundation in Systems and related schools of thought, is primarily focused on the Object Relations, Attachment and Solution Focused Theories, and borrows from a host of relational theories and therapies including Imago Therapy. Our Clinical Team is carefully selected and closely supervised by Ms. Viglucci to ensure high caliber delivery of services that are in line with our overall philosophy. Our team is dedicated to assisting couples succeed at their relationship!!

He is fabulous at making life simpler!!


We had a very successful 2006! Our practice continues to grow and we are excited to have added another two new clinicians to our Clinical Team: Elissa B. Glickman and Cynthia L. Piretto. Our clinicians are all trained in Marriage and Family Therapy and bring a host of experience and skills set to their work with our clients. We are thrilled to welcome the two new members of our team to our MetroRelationship™ Family!


We have added another set of offices to continue to accommodate our growth and expand. We are also now in suite 1004 in our building. This opened up resources for colleagues who rent office space from us!


In my commitment to be the best I can in my endeavor to Assist Couples Succeed at their Relationship,I have successfully undergone and completed training in Imago Therapy – further relationship therapy training. So, keep an eye out for great couple resources in the making!!

 
Update: So Much to Share!! (6/06)

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new website!! It became possible thanks to the technological genius of my husband Pete!


He joined our practice as our Director of Technology earlier this year and I couldn't be happier with the addition to our staff! ;-)


The website is more reflective of my work and shows the emphasis on our specialty of working with couples. It also presents my approach and philosophy more in depth.


As my philosophy and approach has become more fine tuned, targeted, and focused it made sense to rename it to capture its essence. My philosophy and approach has changed from MetroWellnez™ to MetroRelationship™.


Also, we've had two additional staff members join our clinical team: Michael Stiglitz and Jessica Fraioli - welcome aboard!!
