Mensch Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
I’m an individual therapist working with adults online across Oregon. Many of my clients arrive feeling stuck, overthinking, and quietly exhausted; carrying trauma, anxiety, or grief while still being the one everyone relies on. Sometimes it’s the fallout of growing up as the responsible one, perfectionism that won’t shut off, or a nervous system that lives on high alert. Even after yoga, exercise, and stacks of books have taken you as far as they can, tings still linger. My style is collaborative, curious, and authentic. I don’t pile on pressure. I bring clarity, warmth, and a shame-free lane forward. Together we’ll uncover the patterns beneath the overwhelmed feeling: people-pleasing, pushing through burnout, and the ways your body keeps the score. I specialize in helping adults build steadier days, clearer boundaries, and kinder self-talk. You don’t have to keep performing “I’m fine” to deserve help. If you’re ready to move past surface fixes and feel like yourself again, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

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.
