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.

Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life hasn’t turned out the way you thought it would? Maybe you’re in the middle of a big transition—becoming a parent, navigating a breakup, adjusting to a new role, or simply realizing that what used to work…doesn’t anymore. Change can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and even grief for the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown. You might find yourself questioning who you are or what comes next. These moments can feel isolating, but they’re also an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin again—with support along the way.

You get to arrive as you are, and we move at a pace that feels safe, honest, and sustainable. If you’re longing for clarity, connection, or a more spacious relationship with yourself, I’m here to walk with you as you find your way forward.

Fairfield is a Solano County city between Sacramento and the Bay Area, home to Travis Air Force Base—one of the largest air mobility installations in the US military—and a diverse suburban community that has grown substantially as housing costs in the core Bay Area have pushed families further into Solano County. The military presence shapes a significant portion of the local mental health landscape, with trauma, PTSD, military family stress, and the challenges of military-to-civilian transition all prominent concerns for local therapists. Solano County Behavioral Health provides public mental health services, and a private therapy sector serves the growing civilian population. Common therapy concerns include military and veteran mental health, commuter stress from the long drive or train ride to Bay Area employment, economic anxiety for those stretched by Bay Area costs, and the adjustment challenges of a growing community still building its own identity and infrastructure.
