He has received specialized training in evidence-based practices including Gottman Method couples therapy, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), prolonged exposure therapy (PE), cognitive behavioral conjoint therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and integrative behavioral couples therapy. In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Baglieri has worked as an organizational consultant delivering solutions for leaders, teams, and organizations on culture, leadership development, employee experience, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. His research on culture, men and masculinities, positive psychology, and relationships has led to national conference presentations and co-authorship on peer-reviewed publications. He is a member of the American Psychological Association, the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology, the Society of Counseling Psychology, and the New Jersey Psychological Association. A postdoctoral fellow in New Jersey, Dr. Baglieri earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from James Madison University and a Master of Science in marriage and family therapy from Seton Hall University.
