In her clinical work with adults, Dr. Imbraguglio has worked with clients with a wide variety of common concerns including depression and mood disturbances in general, anxiety, couple's issues, physical symptoms of stress, family and peer relationships, assertiveness, and life transitions to include general concerns about various life planning and decision making issues. In addition, she has extensive experience in working with survivors of trauma, to include adult sexual trauma, adult survivors of child sexual abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Her clinical work with adults also includes conducting comprehensive psychological and educational evaluations. Building on her interest in couple's issues, her dissertation examined how people in relationships respond to changes in their partner's interpersonal approach. In addition, she participated with other psychologists in research on couple's and family issues, designing studies examining aggression and power in intimate partners, and analyzing videotapes of family and couples therapy for the constructs of empathy and therapeutic change. Psychoeducational classes and outreach programs developed and conducted by Dr. Imbraguglio have included the topics of Relationship Building, Stress & Anger Management, Depression, Grief, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Trauma.

Dr. Imbraguglio's work with children also spans assessment, therapy, and research. She has extensive experience in conducting psychoeducational evaluations across the academic spectrum, to include evaluating for learning disabilities and AD/HD as well as gifted children and adolescents. In addition to conducting the assessments, her work in the schools involved performing behavioral observations in classroom settings, and attending special education meetings to report evaluation results to teachers and administrators and to advocate for the child as needed. She has also conducted comprehensive psychological and behavioral assessments for children and adolescents to aid in differential diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and determinations of adoption readiness. Dr. Imbraguglio has experience working with children with issues such as depression, anxiety, dealing with divorce, problems with peers, social problems, AD/HD, family and school difficulties, and shyness. Having worked on a children's crisis stabilization unit with clients between 5-17 years of age who were a threat to themselves or someone else, she is also well equipped to assist parents in de-escalation techniques, as well as teaching children how to self-regulate emotions.

Services: I offer services in the areas of: therapy for clinical/mental health concerns for children and adults; psychoeducational/psychological evaluations for all ages; and couples therapy for all stages of relationships including premarital counseling. Please visit my website for more detailed information on my services at WWW.LEPAGEASSOCIATES.COM. For your convenience, I have evening appointments available.

Style: I believe therapy is a collaborative process and encourage clients to take an active role in therapy. I am committed to helping clients discover the choices in their lives that can lead to achieving the goals they have set for themselves. I use cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal techniques as a foundation to help clients with this process, while maintaining a supportive and respectful environment. I am greatly interested in helping individuals engage in positive interpersonal experiences and break through the barriers many people experience - to help them get the very most out of life, and to assist them in reaching their personal goals. In my professional positions I have worked with a very diverse client population with regard to racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am committed to making therapy or evaluation a positive and helpful experience for all of my clients.

Site: In addition to having excellent central accessibility to the Triangle, the location has many other benefits as well. I have outdoor therapy space so we can sit outdoors or go for a walk if you wish. I also have a host of accommodations for the children and families I serve. In addition to a compilation of age-appropriate therapeutic games and activities, I have a game room with a pool table and a media room.

INFORMATION ON FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION:
I recognize when choosing a psychologist - whether for yourself, your family, or your company - it will be important for you to feel the professional you choose will be a "good fit." As a professional courtesy, to help make your search for the right psychological services provider easier, I will not charge you for the initial session if you feel that it is not a good fit. In fact, if I am not a good fit for you, I will be happy to talk with you about what you're looking for, and give you the names of other psychologists that fit your description. If you decide that I am a good fit and to use my services, only then will I charge you for the first session. If at the end of the first session you still have other appointments set up in your search for a psychologist, I will not charge you then, and will instead bill for the first session only if you decide that I am a good fit and return to use my services. I hope that this policy makes your search for the right psychological services provider a bit easier.
