As a psychotherapist and Licensed Professional Counselor, Alena Scigliano is one of very few formally trained mental health professionals who specializes in narcissistic abuse. In her private group practice, she provides loving and compassionate psychotherapy to those who are searching for healing from relationships with pathologically narcissistic partners, family members, friends, coworkers, bosses, pastors, and others. In addition, she supports other mental health professionals and organizations through narcissistic abuse education, training, and consultation. Alena's personal mission is to inspire others to live with love, joy, compassion, and kindness by empowering them to choose love over fear in every facet of their life. As the founder and CEO of a multistate group practice, she has built a team of psychotherapists who are dedicated to improving the lives of hundreds of people every month. Passionate about innovating the business of counseling, Alena offered teletherapy long before COVID, and has developed innovative forms of therapy such as "Beach & Talk Therapy" and "Indoor Walk & Talk Therapy." Alena also provides consultation to other group practice owners in order to help them improve the systems and processes operating their businesses. Alena's mental health career was inspired by the powerful changes her own counseling journey made in her life. Therapy helped her learn that even though she and her parents shared a loving relationship, she didn't have the power to stop their alcohol abuse. In addition, it helped her let go of a lifetime of learned fear and anxiety in order to raise her own children in a much healthier environment based on love, joy, and patience. Alena enjoys sharing the difference that unschooling (an unstructured and self-directed type of homeschooling) made in her children's education and their journeys to discovering their individual selves. She passionately advocates for allowing children to hold onto their innate love of learning by embracing their individual learning styles and believes that we succeed as parents if our children know how to learn, grow up feeling loved and accepted, and know how to love, accept, and show compassion toward theirselves and others.
