Shauntae Walker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S
My foremost goal is for each counseling session with me to feel safe, organic, empathetic and encouraging. My intention is for each person I meet to feel comfortable being their truest selves and to also walk side by side with them as they bravely face challenges in life, learn new skills, and re-discover the courage and inner strength that we all possess.

Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
I have enjoyed working as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in my solo private practice where you can have the time and space you need in a quiet and confidential setting. I am happy to help with the concerns that you have and have experience in clinical work and other additional services you may need such as an ESA letter or a disability claim. My approach is steady and collaborative and feel it is important to establish a genuine therapeutic relationship that can see you through. If you are interested in Hypnosis, it is available as a private pay option.

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.
