Vincent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (psychotherapist) in the Farmington/West Hartford, CT area. He provides therapy, counseling, and consulting services. For more info on my methods see the About page.

 
Specialties:

Vincent specializes in a few things:

• Issues specific to men: being a man in today’s world, men’s role in the family, new dad, etc…

• Relationships/Social/intimacy…

• The many, many issues related to Anxiety - avoidance, fear, sleep issues, panic, perfectionism, control, self-esteem, procrastination, and more.

• Major life changes such as divorce, breakups, death, big move, job change/loss.

Many problems adults face today are related to anxiety in ways that we might not see. Anxiety can cause us to be overly critical of ourselves and believe others are criticizing us. Lots of issues we have stem from how we relate to others and how we feel about ourselves.

Why Relationships?

Relationships are really important, and you have one with anyone you interact with. This can be a spouse, partner, friend, family, colleague, boss, etc… We have many different kinds of relationships in our lives, even with the barista at our favorite coffee place. Navigating relationships successfully is one of the most important skills we can acquire. Let me help you gain the understanding of human behavior, psychology, and skills to have the most successful relationships.

What is Men’s Issues?

Men's issues includes being a single man navigating the dating world, relationship problems, new to fatherhood, parenting as a dad, dealing with relationship conflicts, struggles with masculinity, machismo, and the pressure of traditional ideals regarding men's roles in the family (see the “about” section).

Not sure where to start? Phone call or email too much for you right now? That’s okay. Just text my work number with a little info about you and what you’re looking for. Try to include what insurance you have and I’ll get back to you by the end of the day.

Why should you choose a local therapist instead of something like Grow or Better Help or Headway? There are a lot of “convenient” discount therapy services out there that try to lure you in by making everything seem easy, but you may be getting an unlicensed counselor instead of a licensed clinician. Convenience and discount prices are attractive, but do you really want discount therapy? Those “therapists” are not being paid well and may not be experts on your issues. 

What to Expect

You can e-mail anytime to find out if there is a spot that works for you, just click the e-mail button at the top or bottom of this page. Vincent is also able to provide consulting services to anyone out of state, at a cash rate, utilizing virtual meetings. In the near future Vincent will offer trainings for a fee for organizations providing clinical mental health or social services.

Custom Therapy for You 

Therapy is custom tailored for you. The length and frequency of treatment is something we will discuss together. I know therapy can be expensive depending on your insurance situation, so we will come up with a schedule and payment plan that works best for you.

Some services I provide are not covered by insurance and are cash-only such as career counseling, parenting education, behavior planning for kids, any other informal counseling or consulting.

Please see ‘about’, ‘payment’, and ‘policies’ pages to learn more about how treatment might proceed, what types of therapy Vincent provides, insurance and payment methods and whether he’s the right therapist for you.
