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.

Larry Nussbaum, LIFE JOURNEY CENTEER
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSCSW, LISCW
Everyone at times needs some support or coaching on their life journey. I'd be happy to sit down with you or talk on the phone and compassionately listen to your story and lend some hope and encouragement. I view "problems" as opportunities to work on and overcome the 'threats' within and around us and to open up our lives to new levels of growth.

Shanea McDaniel
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Seeking mental health care is a courageous step, and my goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout your journey. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 18 years of nursing experience, I believe that effective treatment begins with understanding the whole person—not just the diagnosis.
I work collaboratively with each client to develop personalized treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and lifestyle. While medication can be an important part of treatment, I also incorporate evidence-based psychotherapy, holistic strategies, and practical coping skills to help clients build lasting emotional wellness. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on creating meaningful, long-term change rather than simply managing symptoms.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, women's mental health concerns, or life transitions, I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you regain confidence, resilience, and balance. I am passionate about reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and making high-quality psychiatric care accessible through convenient virtual appointments.
