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.

Wendy Hooker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, C-ASWCM, CBIS, CAMF, SAP
As a counselor, therapist and medical case manager, I have grown in my understanding of the importance of the mind body connection (physical and mental health). Therefore, each person is encouraged (coached) from a person-centered strength perspective to make positive changes in their life based on their lifestyle goals.

Jaclyn Davis
Psychologist, PhD
I believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship to help you heal from past wounds and build more fulfilling connections in the present. When the path feels dark or uncertain, I offer insight, warmth, and steadiness—helping you develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself. Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences shape your present patterns, creating space for deeper self-understanding, emotional healing, and growth.
My passion lies in walking alongside people as they navigate life’s transitions, relationship challenges, and questions of identity. Whatever brings you to therapy, you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to support you in making sense of your experience and moving toward a more connected and meaningful life.
