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.

Sarah Rollins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
For over 8 years, I have worked with people who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression and addiction. I graduated from the University of Michigan with my undergraduate degree in psychology and graduate degree in social work. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing through Somatic Experiencing International. I also have training in Internal Family Systems through the IFS Institute. Other modalities I use include, but are not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Supportive Therapy and psychoeducation.
We take a different approach to healing and go beyond talk therapy. Using somatic therapy, we invite clients to notice the sensations in their bodies, get curious about them and release what is stored inside. Somatic therapy and EMDR allows you to heal without having to talk about what happened. Whether you have been to therapy for years or this is your first time, we are here to make this experience one where you feel understood, seen and cared for.
