I'll second the recommendation for Dave Spiegelthal. He has overhauled two of my B&H clarinets (a 2-20 Bb and an Edgware A) and I have been happy with both of them. As far as someone local I have heard that Tim Moran is well thought of but have never had him work on any of my instruments so I have no first-hand knowledge.

For trying out mouthpieces you will probably have to make a trip into NYC to find a music store that even has any in stock. Maybe the situation is different in southern CT but in southern CT it can be a challenge to find a music store that even carries reeds let alone mouthpieces. Most seem to just want to sell guitars and drums these days. You may actually be better off just ordering some on trial from Woodwind Brasswind as the selection will almost certainly be much better and you would be able to try the mouthpieces out for a few days rather than a few minutes at a store.
