Hello,
Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to learn more about me. My name is Angie Vargas. I am a Therapist of Color and a first-generation Latinx. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I earned my Masters in Social Work from UCLA, and my Bachelors in Sociology and Chicanx Studies from CSUN. I am really excited to be here and be of support to you in your journey. My skills range from working with youth, children and families, as well as young adults and adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, burn-out, and compassion fatigue. My passion lies in bridging my expertise in psychotherapy, wellness (movement, mindfulness, self awareness), nature and collective healing. I am also certified in Yoga since 2017 and bring a creative and holistic perspective to any client and family I work with. Looking forward to working together :)

Angie is a wonderful listener and I always come away from our sessions feeling respected, validated and supported. I love working with her and feel so much better since starting therapy!

Angie is amazing. She has really helped me voyage through my feelings this year and come out more conscious and present. She mixes up the sessions with different approaches which surface feelings and helps me to realise what’s happening for me. She has a warm friendly approach which makes me very comfortable and open. I highly recommended Angie’s support.
