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.

Coalesce Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
I love working with relationships, including the relationship with ourself. I find that many of the anxieties and distressful experiences we have stem from uncertainty about where we stand with others - both personally and professionally. Together, we can gain insight and awareness about who we are, and then we can accept who we are. When acceptance becomes internal, it brings confidence to navigating relationships, and we can feel much more secure with ourselves and in our lives.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, anxious thoughts, or reminders of your traumatic memories? Struggling with anger or relationship conflict? Feeling stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and unhealthy behaviors? Life's struggles can feel isolating but you don't have to face them alone. It would be a privilege and an honor to accompany you on your mental health journey.
I'm a licensed psychologist with over 18 years in the field. I have expertise in the treatment of PTSD, trauma, and stress and in the understanding of veteran and military culture. Other areas of specialty include anxiety, phobias, panic, depression, insomnia, and addiction. I work with teens and adults, as well as the spouses, partners and family members of those struggling. I also have extensive experience supporting veterans, first responders, and medical and mental health providers.
Whether you've been in therapy before or are ready to take the very first step towards healing and growth, I would love to hear from you.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Life can feel so heavy when anxiety won’t let your mind rest, when fear wakes you at night, or when stress and self-doubt erode your confidence and faith. When burnout creeps in and relationships begin to crack, holding it all together can start to feel overwhelming.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand that weight. Our Christian counselors help young professionals, couples, and families find calm, rebuild trust, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—rather than performing under the pressures this world demands.
We integrate faith-based wisdom with evidence-based care, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, Gottman, EFT, Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed work, tapping, and breathwork. This combination helps you retrain your nervous system, heal emotional and spiritual wounds, and live with genuine peace.
Clients often come to us struggling with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, grief, burnout, relationship conflict, or a sense of spiritual disconnection. Here, you’ll find compassion, honesty, and practical tools to feel safe in your body and centered in your spirit again.
What we offer:
• Free consultations for new clients — relief can start now
• Same-week availability, including evenings (Mon–Thu until 8 p.m.)
• Sliding-scale rates for affordable care
• In-person, telehealth, or phone sessions
You don’t have to face the storm alone. There is calm on the other side—and together, we can find it.
