Hello! My name is Patricia Sciglimpaglia-Vigue, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Connecticut. I have a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Saint Joseph. I have counseling experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family conflict, goal setting, anger management with specialties in sports performance, and LGBTQ+ affirming counseling.

I am certified in anxiety and trauma (EMDR). I am also a relationship expert with a PhD in marriage and family therapy and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-S, LICSW). I have over 19 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, couples, groups, and families. Many of my clients choose alternative methods for dealing with anxiety and depression instead of prescription medication. I am also a certified herbalist and a practitioner of yoga. I'm not just EMDR "trained", but also certified with advanced hours in trauma. Best times to reach me for a free phone consultation - before 12 pm, between 3-4:00 and after 6 pm.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and work primarily with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with mood issues, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, loss, behavior issues, and developmental issues. I feel that parental involvement is crucial to successful treatment, and work closely with parents to encourage the development of positive parenting techniques. One of my primary goals is to help each individual in the family identify and use their strengths to address those areas of their lives in which they are challenged.

I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist specializing in helping adolescents and adults effectively manage and overcome anxiety and emotional challenges in a warm and non-judgmental space. My role is to help identify and cultivate client strengths through focusing on skills such as emotional regulation, coping strategies, feeling identification and self-advocacy. I am trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), all proven approaches for treating anxiety and OCD disorders.

Is this you? You know what to do, but when it comes time to actually doing it, you fall into old patterns. You feel like no one gets you, and maybe you feel like no one actually cares. Some days, you wonder if you are even worth caring about. You float between feeling out of control of your emotions and pushing them down. You’re afraid of people getting too close, yet you want, more than anything, genuine human connection. If anxiety, depression, or trauma are creating burnout, stress, self-esteem, or relationship issues, I'm here to help.

Start where you are.Do what you can.Use what you have “Arthur Ashe”. One of my favorite mantras. Life is fragile, and sacred. If you want to be listened to, and explore how to find your inner voice of self-worth and authenticity, reach out and see if we are a good fit. This is only about you. Keep making yourself a priority, I know this seems like a lot, practicing self compassion, and self-love doesn’t always come natural.I’d love to hold non-judgmental space for you, as you explore your path to healing. Change is inevitable. Transformation will be small or dramatic.Therapy observes as you learn to honor what is best for yourself.

I will empower you to unearth the strengths you already have within you to confront the challenges in your life and help you identify and achieve your individual goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a MSW from Quinnipiac University. I practice a trauma-informed, person-centered, holistic approach to therapy. I believe in developing a safe, nurturing relationship based on mutual respect with each of my clients so they feel both empowered and supported.

The beginning of personal change is knowing that a different experience is available. This is the seed of hope. The therapeutic experience is a collaboration between two individuals who both bring rich experience and knowledge into a therapeutic relationship. The situation that we find ourselves in is not our destiny. By choosing to participate in therapy, you are moving in the direction of creating the life you want to live.

There's an inner child inside all of us who is begging to be seen and heard. You are worth investing your time and energy into. Let me help you to see the light that is within you. I work with adults (18 and over) who struggle with anxiety, depression, mood disorder, borderline personality disorder, addictive personality/substance use, complex trauma and grief/loss.

You can get relief and heal from your trauma. We will work together and I will guide you to improving your daily life. Everyone has experienced some form of trauma throughout their lives; be it from childhood or current issues. Traumas compile throughout life and often manifest into mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Have you noticed controlling emotions is difficult or anxiety slowly increasing for no reason? We can work with numerous tools to help you feel better, one is Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems informed (IFS) these will bring relief.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor it is my goal to help others discover the solutions and strategies that they feel will work best to solve problems and lead to a more balanced life. As well as having a passion for supporting moms and families, I am also passionate about LGBTQIA issues and assisting those struggling with substance use. I enjoy using humor, analogies, and relating issues from everyday life to pop culture references that are meaningful for the individual I am working with. I am only able to offer telehealth at this time. Email is the best way to reach me for inquiries.

I have experience in acute care settings including inpatient psychiatric hospitals and PHP/IOP programs.

Life transitions can occur at any stage of adulthood, whether it's transitioning from college to the workforce, starting a new career, getting married or divorced, becoming a parent, coping with empty nest syndrome, or entering retirement. I am here to provide guidance and support during these times of adjustment, helping you navigate the complexities and emotions that often accompany life transitions.

I work within a Holistic and Strength-Based Foundation, with a profound understanding of the impact of environmental elements, and the effects these elements cause in the mind and body. Emotional influences cognitive influences physical/physiological influences emotional well-being: these internal systems are intricately woven in a magnificent tapestry that is the individual at any given moment. The individual is further affected by the external systems of family, job, school, neighborhood, spiritual affiliations, nutritional selections, and on and on. I believe in the power of the individual to learn to heal the Self and achieve Wellness and Peace in all Systems.

I believe that each of my patients is unique. I treat my patients with care and respect and help them to resolve their issues. If necessary, I have a network of respected professionals who can also make themselves available to my patients.

I am a clinical psychologist/yoga instructor with over 25 years of training, research and clinical work. The foundation of my practice is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and my therapeutic approach has evolved considerably since I first began. While traditional talk therapy itself is extremely beneficial, current research suggests that a holistic approach to treatment can often enhance or accelerate the healing process. Typically, my clients begin with traditional talk therapy, and based upon their individual needs, goals, preferences and lifestyle, I will offer a variety of modalities/tools/practices - but the choice is always theirs.
