Vacaville, California therapist: Pattie Vargas, counselor/therapist
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

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.

Green Bay, Wisconsin therapist: Dr. Nnenna Nwankwo, psychologist
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Dr. Nnenna Nwankwo

Psychologist, PsyD
Over my 15+ years of clinical experience, I have come to appreciate therapy as an opportunity to go within and connect to what matters most, emerging at the end of that journey with self compassion, increased self awareness and self concept, as well as clarity for moving forward. My clinical approach is integrative and grounded in existential-humanistic psychology which is a style that helps one explore how to live authentically, creating meaning from life's challenges and chaos. My specialities include high achieving BIPOC with intersecting identities, first and second generation immigrants, and individuals navigating infertility and challenges with family building.
