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.

Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
As an award-winning psychotherapist, I specialize in high-impact individual therapy for capable men. With over 15 years of experience and advanced trauma training, I’m known for my work in pornography addiction, sex addiction, and men’s mental health. My practice is frequently sought out by other therapists who refer men facing issues requiring specialized treatment—such as sex and porn addiction, trauma, anger, infidelity, and anxiety. I have also been featured in media speaking about these topics.
As a clinical supervisor, I train other therapists in gold-standard, evidence-based treatments. I provide expert, structured, results-oriented therapy for men who want real change—not generic talk therapy or surface-level coping. Clients reach out when they want depth, direction, and results so if you’re here, you’ve already taken the first step toward real change.
