Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
I specialize in trauma therapy, PTSD, relationship issues, sexual concerns, body image, self-esteem, stress, and nervous system dysregulation. Many of the clients I work with feel stuck in patterns that affect their relationships, self-worth, or ability to feel grounded in their body and daily life. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic, blending talk therapy with emotional processing and mind-body awareness to support meaningful and sustainable change.
In our work together, I focus on creating a safe and collaborative space where we can slow down and understand the deeper roots of what you’re experiencing. This often includes exploring how past experiences, stress responses, and relationship patterns are affecting you now. I will help you in healing the past and reducing worry about the future, so you can find more joy and peace in the present moment. Sessions will go at your pace and be personalized to your needs, with an emphasis on building self-trust, emotional regulation, and greater ease in your life. I'm always happy to talk more about how my approach can help with your specific concerns. Feel free to contact me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation!

Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
After facing the heart-wrenching challenges of having two of my three children struggle with Substance Use Disorder, my world was further shaken when my son, Joel, lost his decades-long battle with the disease in 2017. In the wake of this profound loss, I was determined to better understand the family experience of addiction, and have since used this lived experience to support and guide others who are navigating the isolating and stigmatizing road of addiction and loss.
As a Compassionate Bereavement Care®️ Certified Provider and Kessler Certified Grief Educator, I work with individuals, families, and communities impacted by loss. I am a Peer Parent Coach with the Partnership to End Addiction, and co-facilitate their online grief support community, and is the host of Finding Hope After Loss, Grief Support groups for The Happier Life Project. As an advocate for recovery policies, I am a California State Organizer with the Recovery Advocacy Project, serve on the RCO/RCC Advisory Committee, and was named the 2022 Architect of Recovery by CCAPP (CA Consortium of Addiction Professionals.) My book, Secrets, Scars and Heart Shaped Jars, shares my family’s journey through addiction, loss and recovery.
