About Sabrina Vigil, Psy.D.
Sabrina Vigil, Psy.D. is a Clinical Associate at Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates, where she provides individual therapy for teens and adults across the lifespan, as well as psychological and neuropsychological assessments for adolescents and adults. Her work is grounded in trauma-informed care and focused on supporting individuals impacted by trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, grief, identity-related concerns, and major life transitions. Sabrina is known for her calm, attuned presence and her ability to create a therapeutic space that feels safe, steady, and deeply respectful.
Sabrina takes an integrative, trauma-responsive approach to individual therapy, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies, and insight-oriented work. She supports teens and adults in developing practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness while also addressing the deeper patterns shaped by trauma, attachment experiences, and prolonged nervous system activation. Her work emphasizes psychological flexibility, self-compassion, and values-aligned action as foundations for healing and resilience.
Sabrina also works extensively with adolescents and adults experiencing ADHD and executive functioning challenges, supporting clients in strengthening attention regulation, organization, planning, time management, and follow-through. In therapy, she helps individuals better understand how their brains process information, develop practical strategies tailored to their learning style, and reduce shame or self-criticism that often accompanies executive function difficulties. Her approach integrates skills-based interventions with nervous system regulation and self-compassion, allowing clients to build sustainable systems that support academic, professional, and relational success.
In addition to treatment, Sabrina provides comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessments for adolescents and adults to clarify concerns related to ADHD, learning disabilities, executive functioning, neurodivergence, and trauma-related cognitive patterns. These evaluations typically include standardized measures of intellectual functioning, attention, working memory, processing speed, executive skills, and academic achievement, along with validated symptom inventories. Sabrina approaches assessment as a collaborative and affirming process, helping clients gain clarity about their cognitive strengths and challenges while offering thoughtful, individualized recommendations for treatment planning, school or workplace accommodations, and next steps.
Sabrina has particular expertise working with individuals impacted by complex trauma, relational trauma, minority stress, and traumatic grief, including LGBTQIA+ teens and adults. Her approach is affirming, culturally responsive, and relational, with careful attention to how trauma intersects with identity, development, and social context. She works thoughtfully with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in survival patterns, supporting reconnection with agency, safety, and internal coherence over time.
Sabrina is NeuroTriad Model trained by Dr. Kate Truitt, meaning her clinical work is informed by applied neuroscience principles that support nervous system regulation, brain–body partnership, and adaptive neuroplasticity following trauma. Through this framework, she helps clients understand how trauma reshapes the brain and nervous system—and how targeted, neuroscience-informed strategies can restore emotional balance, self-trust, and long-term resilience beyond symptom management.
