Michael Vigorito, MFT

He comes across as very set in his ways, and at the beginning of every session, he makes the same movement of his chair. No one cares about a chair, but you may care about his personality. His style is rigid, a control freak, although he may play like he is flexible in the beginning. He likes to set the agenda in advance for your sessions, and this is not a provider you can roll up at and start talking to. He is very buttoned up, both literally and figuratively. If you have a goal and some rough idea of how you want to go about it, then he is probably not the therapist for you because he likes doing things his way. He ignores dissent, preferring I assume to be the expert on the matters of your life and sexuality.

Michael is a terrible therapist. He does not listen to his clients first and foremost. Next of all he does not respect the goals, desires, values or others. Rather he is more interested in promoting his personal values. On numerous occasions I stated to Michael my concerns, how what he was suggesting as at odds with my values, desires and goals in life- he would say one sentence and change the subject. Yeah let's ignore the 1000 pound elephant in the room, great idea.
