Viv Torres-Calcagno, LPC, ATR-BC

Connecticut Telehealth Team (She/Her)

“I found I could say things with colors and shapes that I couldn't say any other way – things I had no words for.”- Georgia O’Keefe

I’m Viviana Torres-Calcagno, a licensed Art Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor and artist. Whether you are looking to process, heal and move through trauma, regulate your nervous system, work through grief, life transitions, relationship problems, or slow down, connect to nature, or find your soul’s sacred purpose, I feel passionate about working with you from a wholistic, humanistic, and strength-based approach to help you build the tools and skills to live a more nourishing life that is more in alignment with your true self.

As an artist, and highly sensitive, intuitive healer, I know that sometimes words are not enough, especially when our bodies and nervous systems carry the memories of all our lived experiences- childhood to present. For this reason, I will walk along side you as we move beyond just traditional talk therapy and integrate the expressive arts, nature, mindfulness, somatic work and other trauma-informed, evidence-based practices to get to the root of the problem and create new personal narratives and pathways that bring a sense of purpose and nurture all your truest parts in the ways YOU need them to.

I recognize the amount of courage and strength it takes to be in the therapeutic process and I would be honored to be trusted with your healing and growth. The most important thing for me is to foster a therapeutic experience that feels safe and celebrates the most authentic parts of you. I firmly believe that you are your own expert and only you have lived your experience. For this reason, my intention is to create a space and relationship that guides you to focus on and honor your unique and authentic voice, needs, and strengths, no matter what challenges you are looking for support in navigating.
