Dr. Rachel Glik, EdD, LPC

Dr. Rachel Glik—licensed counselor, relationship specialist, and author of A Soulful Marriage—has spent 30+ years helping people turn challenges into growth.

She blends psychotherapy with Kabbalah for a grounded, human approach to healing & connection. After 22 years in private practice, and even longer as a married woman and mother, I feel privileged to say I specialize in "relationships." I love inspiring women and men to look more within themselves for happiness, security, value - and to understand that friction in relationships can be just what we need to grow. Those open to change benefit most ... a healthy couple takes healthy people. I also love meeting with people individually. It often starts off with some kind of relationship friction or lack of fulfillment. But when it comes down to it, the internal struggles await at the core. So many of us need help with low self worth, anxiety, negative thoughts, feeling stuck and/or some degree of trauma. I must say, most become amazed by their own power when they connect to their true selves. I pray that my own awe of our growth potential never wanes. It's hard to see it while in the midst of pain, but I dare to say that our thorns, what appears to be things going the wrong way, these can become our greatest gifts - pushing us to grow, to be and feel better and stronger, and to create the life we truly desire. I am known as a counselor for soul searchers, which can be seen behind closed doors in the intimate sessions filling my days, as well as a TV regular on Fox2 AM show and the blog writing to which I hope to devote even more time. Something unique I am grateful to bring to my clients and viewers comes from the robust and beautiful blend of a traditional doctoral training, years of counseling experience along with decades of immersing myself in personal growth and universal spiritual wisdom. I am someone who feels that I can only help others with that which I have a familiarity myself. I take my own growth and life balance to heart. It's a way of life, a way of love and a way of sharing what I have learned and continue to become from the grit of embracing being alive.

I am filled with joy and awe to announce our daughter’s, Andrea Gutierrez-Glik’s ( ) new book “Healing the Oppressed Body: A Therapeutic Guide for Radical Self-Liberation” which was released this week by Penguin Life.

Andrea has always been a bright light and yet she faced many dark times in her childhood and early adult years. She has taken every bit of her pain and turned it into healing and goodness for herself and to help alleviate the same pain for her clients and now for so many others.

I have read the book and can tell you that whether you see yourself in the case examples as a member of the LGBTQ community or if you are ANYONE who would like to find their power and heal from the inside out — this is your book.

Andrea writes like she lives and loves, with radical authenticity, vulnerability, heart and strength. She makes you feel like she’s talking to you in these pages and at the same time shares profound ideas and healing modalities from state of the art science and research.

Your 1st grade teacher, Dr. Kathryn Pierce, put it so well when she instantly spotted your powerful presence, and said, “I can’t wait to see what this one does in life. She is going places!” Andrea, you are a gift to the world and I am eternally grateful to the Creator for allowing me to birth you and to be your mother. May all of the gifts of healing and freedom you give to others come back to you a trillion-fold.

The roommate relationship is one of the biggest sources of friction in relationships — and one of the least talked about...

Your domestic friendship is about how you both work together as roommates to delegate everyday chores and tasks.

From doing the dishes to laundry to cooking, every couple can design their own domestic partnership based on their own preferences and needs.

Having these conversations are essential to keep the harmony in your home.

03/02/2026

Doing the dishes was often a source of conflict for my husband Jeff and I.

In the past, I would get really angry and hurt that I was always doing those things around the house, and then one day we sat down calmly and talked about it.

Growing up in the 50s, Jeff realized that he was just doing what he saw his father do. Unconsciously, he just didn’t picture himself doing that dishes and other household chores.

This has been about a year or so after we had that conversation and I can tell it’s still on his mind and that he’s doing something different than what he saw growing up.

Ultimately, he said that he appreciates this change because now we both feel more supported.

What are you and your partner working towards?

A few years into our marriage, we felt an emptiness — not a lack of love, but a lack of a shared goal beyond home and family.

After some searching, we found unity through the wisdom of Kabbalah and built our relationship around one core principle: **giving and sharing together**.

Having a shared purpose can add endurance and tenderness to your relationship.

When you build toward something bigger than yourselves, your relationship moves beyond routine and into meaning.

As I wrote “A Soulful Marriage” this concept became Pillar 4 — and the secret sauce not enough couples talk about.

Lack of communication is the #1 reason most couples come to see me as a relationship counselor.

Why?

Because we are not taught how to communicate in the first place!

Human ego can get in the way of communication. This can result in defensive or reactive communication— centered on the ego’s needs and feelings.

In my book, I talk about how to foster a “sanctuary” for your relationship so that even when you disagree— you can both still feel heard.

Thank you to psychologist Meg Jay, Ph.D., for these beautiful words: “The most thoughtful book on marriage I have ever read.”

My book, A Soulful Marriage, is for anyone longing to navigate love’s hardest moments––and even the day-to-day–– with more purpose, responsibility, and heart.

Every challenge in a relationship is a chance to grow—both as individuals and as a couple.

The real gift of friction, especially when handled intentionally and soulfully, is using it as fuel for transformation.

Growth is where the magic happens! 🌱✨

02/11/2026

Many people are asking the same question right now:

How do I stay engaged with what’s happening in the world without losing myself?

The answer isn’t avoidance—and it isn’t constant vigilance either.

It’s learning how to regulate your system so you can respond rather than react.

Self-care isn’t a retreat from responsibility.

It’s what allows responsibility to be lived over time.

Building a soulful marriage isn’t just about romance—it’s about friendship, too. The Marriage Wheel I wrote about in my book highlights the many forms of friendship that keep love strong: from being playmates to sharing housework to being each other’s emotional support. And they all need to be optimally balanced in a healthy relationship. When one become’s weak, it’s like our relationship has a flat tire. 💞
