Amanda Ezell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (AL & GA), LMHC (FL), NCC, BC-TMH
I believe therapy works best when you can show up as your whole self without worrying about being judged, misunderstood, or expected to fit someone else's idea of who you should be. My style is warm, collaborative, and conversational, with space for both honest reflection and practical change. I don't believe my role is to tell you who you should become. Instead, we'll work together to understand what is happening in your life, explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped you, and determine what meaningful change looks like for you.

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.
