Devon Davasher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCM, CFSW, Master ART Practitioner
I became a therapist because I needed one. I lost my mom when I was 18, and in the years that followed I struggled with anxiety and depression and reached for whatever would take the edge off. When I finally sat down with a therapist, it changed my life. Not because it fixed everything right away, but because for the first time I had a space to say the things I had never said out loud. As a gay man, I know what it is like to carry parts of yourself quietly for longer than you should have had to. That lived experience shapes how I show up in the room. Affirming care is not something I do. It is something I live.

Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues and challenges. I also have a special focus on men’s mental health, including the unique emotional struggles that come with divorce, separation, and relationship transitions. My therapeutic approach is strength-based and grounded in cognitive behavioral, interpersonal psychotherapy, and narrative psychology. Successful therapy uncovers inner strengths that may have been quieted or overlooked — transforming emotional pain into resilience, insight, and growth. Together, we work to build not just relief from distress, but renewed clarity and strength.

Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
Therapy can be a place to step away from the expectations and pressures that have shaped your life and make room for what you genuinely need. I work with adults who may look like they are doing well on the outside while privately feeling exhausted, disconnected, stuck, or unsure of what comes next. Together, we can explore what you are experiencing now as well as the patterns, relationships, and expectations that may be contributing to it. My practice is intentionally small so that I can be fully present and thoughtful in my work with each client. I aim to create a space where you can explore your experiences openly, better understand yourself, and find ways forward that feel meaningful and sustainable.

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.
