Patti Sciglimpaglia-Vigue LPC

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be fully yourself—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you have to have everything figured out. My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and strengths-based. I want to understand your story, what matters most to you, and where you want to go next, while also giving you practical tools to help you get there.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. We may explore the thoughts and patterns that are getting in your way, look for practical solutions, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and reframe the stories you have developed about yourself. I especially enjoy helping people recognize their strengths and develop a mindset that allows them to move forward rather than remain stuck in what hasn't worked in the past.

I have a particular interest in working with athletes and individuals who want to improve their mental performance. Whether you're dealing with performance anxiety, perfectionism, confidence issues, burnout, motivation, injury recovery, or the pressure to perform, I believe mental health and performance are deeply connected. I enjoy helping athletes and high-achieving individuals develop confidence, resilience, focus, healthy mindset strategies, and a more sustainable relationship with achievement.

I also work with people navigating major life transitions and the many roles that can come with them. I have a special interest in perinatal and postpartum mental health, caregiver burnout, anxiety, depression, and the unique challenges that can arise when you're trying to care for everyone else while also taking care of yourself.

I particularly enjoy working with high-achieving individuals, business owners, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, therapists, and other mental health professionals. These roles can come with tremendous responsibility, high expectations, and very little room to simply be human. Therapy can be a place to step outside of that role, process what you're carrying, and figure out what you actually need.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I value creating an affirming and inclusive space for LGBTQ+ clients.  My goal is to meet you where you are and provide a space where you can explore your experiences, relationships, goals, and challenges authentically.

Most importantly, I don't believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. Your goals, experiences, personality, and strengths are unique to you. I want therapy to be a collaborative process where we can laugh when appropriate, be honest when things are difficult, celebrate progress, and work together toward creating a life that feels meaningful—not simply one that looks successful from the outside.
