Today we’d like to introduce you to Gregg Pizzi.
Hi Gregg, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I grew up always fascinated by people—their stories, struggles, and the hidden ways we all long for connection. That curiosity led me to study psychology, where I eventually earned my doctorate and began working in clinical and forensic settings. Over the years, I had the privilege of helping individuals, couples, and families navigate everything from trauma to intimacy challenges.
But what really stood out to me—both in my professional work and in my own life as a gay man—was how many successful, kind, and genuinely good men were still struggling to find and keep real love. It wasn’t about a shortage of available partners; it was about unconscious patterns and outdated ideas about what partnership could look like.
That realization became the spark for what I do today. I founded #ProperlyPartnered, a coaching program and community that helps single gay men shift from being “chronically single” to creating lasting, authentic relationships. The program grew out of my belief that love isn’t something you stumble into—it’s something you can intentionally create by aligning with yourself first and then learning the tools of modern connection.
Now, after having gone through my own singlehood journey, I’m married to my husband, Edward, of five years, and work with men around the world who are ready to stop settling for half-hearted connections and finally build the partnership they deserve. My story isn’t just about becoming a psychologist—it’s about realizing that love is a skill, a choice, and a practice. And I’m honored to guide others in mastering it.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. From the outside, it might look like things lined up easily, but the truth is that my path has had plenty of challenges.
One of the biggest came during a period of major transition in my life. During the pandemic I realized that I had been causing myself to be single and lonely. Despite my abundance of friends and loving family, I looked around me and wondered why I couldn’t maintain a stable relationship. I went through a process of internal exploration that forced me to face my fears about stability, identity, and the risk of changing who I was and the habits I had developed that were keeping me single without my realizing it.
On the professional side, building #ProperlyPartnered was another leap of faith. There wasn’t really a clear path or a proven model for what I wanted to create. Many men had been let down by hookup culture or surface-level advice, and earning their trust meant developing something truly transformative and psychology-based. That took persistence, late nights, and a lot of resilience when things didn’t work the way I thought they would.
I’ve also faced the very human struggles of balancing my own relationship, my professional commitments, and the realities of running a business. There were times I doubted myself and times the work felt overwhelming. But every one of those obstacles has shaped me. They made me more authentic and relatable, and they keep me grounded in the truth that creating love and stability—whether in a relationship or in life—rarely happens on a perfectly smooth road.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
My work is centered on helping single gay men here in Miami—and beyond—who are thriving in their careers but feel stuck when it comes to love. As a psychologist and coach, I created #ProperlyPartnered, a program designed to guide men from being “chronically single” to building the kind of committed, lasting relationship they’ve always wanted.
What sets me apart is that my work is grounded in real psychology. I’ve been practicing as a licensed psychologist in Miami for over two decades, with advanced training in couples and sex therapy. Instead of offering quick fixes, I give men a structured system that uncovers the hidden patterns blocking intimacy, builds their confidence, and teaches them the modern tools of connection.
I’m best known for introducing the idea that love is not about luck—it’s a skill you can learn and practice. The system I developed focuses on identifying “chronically single behaviors,” shifting self-concept, and creating intentional, authentic connections.
What I’m most proud of is the transformation I see in my clients—men who once thought they’d be single forever now finding themselves in healthy, joyful partnerships. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that the work I started right here in Miami is helping men reimagine what love and commitment can look like.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
For me, success is about alignment—when your personal life, your work, and your values all move in the same direction.
In my own journey, one of the clearest markers of success has been creating the kind of loving, committed marriage I once only dreamed about. To be able to practice what I teach—building a partnership based on authenticity, respect, and joy—is deeply meaningful to me.
Professionally, success shows up when I see the men I work with having their own breakthroughs. When a client tells me he’s finally found a partner who truly sees him, or that he feels confident and hopeful about love for the first time in years—that’s success. It means the work is making a real difference.
So, while achievements and milestones matter, I define success by love, connection, and the positive impact I can make in people’s lives—starting with my own and extending to the community around me. Looking ahead, my vision is to help even more men in Miami’s LGBTQ+ community discover that same kind of success in love and life, so that together we can build stronger, healthier, and more authentic partnerships.
