Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have dedicated my practice to working with individuals in eating disorder recovery, recovery from disordered eating, or who are struggling in their relationship with their body. I hope to be a partner in your recovery journey, offering support and skills. You don't have to identify as having an eating disorder (or believe you are "sick enough") to want a more peaceful relationship with your body. Recovery is always possible, even though it is more complex and complicated than ever. There is an overwhelming amount of information about health, wellness, and recovery- I am here to help you sort through the noise and find what works for 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.
