Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to grow at their own individual pace and to let acceptance and safety direct their learning and healing. I operate from a trauma-informed lense & being culturally sensitive. My therapeutic process is to provide the opportunity and space for people to heal and find hope, despite hardships. The best part of being a therapist for me, is being able to be a part of someone’s journey; walking alongside them and empowering them to develop, heal, and grow. I am always so honored and humbled to witness the resilience of people.

Michelle Roberts
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help folks recover from trauma by befriending the body. Trauma is simply anything that your system experienced as too much, too fast, or too soon (or too little for too long, or too much for too long). You may find that while talking about an issue helps to an extent, that you're still looking to feel more free. If you've been feeling disconnected from yourself, or way too connected & overstimulated by everything, it's likely because your nervous system is working hard trying to make sense of your environment & experiences. Let's learn to care for your unique system as a whole so you can invite more peace into your life.
I am so looking forward to meeting you! I admire your courage in getting to this point. It can be helpful to connect prior to your first session to make sure your initial impression tells you we'd be a good fit! Reach out to me to schedule your free, 15-minute phone consultation where you can ask me any questions you like about the therapy process.

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.
