Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
My life’s work is dedicated to helping individuals step out of survival mode and reclaim their autonomy, clarity, and peace. Throughout my two decades as a practicing clinician, I have learned that true growth requires moving far beyond traditional "talk therapy." Real, sustainable change happens when we actively bridge the gap between clinical insight and daily, practical action.
Living with deep-seated anxiety, complex trauma, ADHD, or the heavy weight of addiction can make your world feel incredibly small, exhausting, and isolated. My mission is to provide you with an entirely safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where your story is met with deep clinical expertise and genuine human reverence. Because no two individuals share the same path, I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether we are utilizing EMDR to safely reprocess traumatic triggers, implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to disarm intrusive thought patterns, or applying holistic strategies to regulate a highly stressed nervous system, our work will be entirely tailored to your unique biology, history, and goals.
As a dually licensed Clinical Psychologist and Master Level Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor (MLADC), I specialize in untangling co-occurring disorders. I am uniquely equipped to help you heal the psychological pain and trauma that so often drive compulsive or self-sabotaging behaviors. I look at your mental health through an integrative lens, honoring the profound connection between your mind, your physical body, and your lifestyle.
By transitioning my practice to a fully virtual, telehealth format, I have intentionally removed the logistical barriers of traditional therapy. You no longer have to navigate commutes, traffic, or crowded waiting rooms to access elite psychological care. Our sessions take place entirely online, allowing you to process your most vulnerable challenges from the absolute safety, comfort, and anonymity of your own chosen space. You do not have to walk the path of recovery or self-discovery alone. Together, we will uncover your inherent strengths, quiet your inner critic, and build the concrete, daily tools you need to live a life aligned with your true values and authentic potential.

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.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, anxious thoughts, or reminders of your traumatic memories? Struggling with anger or relationship conflict? Feeling stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and unhealthy behaviors? Life's struggles can feel isolating but you don't have to face them alone. It would be a privilege and an honor to accompany you on your mental health journey.
I'm a licensed psychologist with over 18 years in the field. I have expertise in the treatment of PTSD, trauma, and stress and in the understanding of veteran and military culture. Other areas of specialty include anxiety, phobias, panic, depression, insomnia, and addiction. I work with teens and adults, as well as the spouses, partners and family members of those struggling. I also have extensive experience supporting veterans, first responders, and medical and mental health providers.
Whether you've been in therapy before or are ready to take the very first step towards healing and growth, I would love to hear from you.
19 Years Experience
Online in Providence, RI Rhode Island (Online Only)
Providence is home to Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and Providence College — together generating significant student mental health demand and a creative, intellectually engaged population that views therapy favorably and tends toward longer-term, exploratory work. The city has a large Cape Verdean and Latino community, with a significant Guatemalan and Dominican population that creates demand for culturally affirming, Spanish-speaking therapists who understand the particular dynamics of immigrant family life in New England. Rhode Island Hospital and Lifespan Health provide institutional mental health resources, while Brown's Warren Alpert Medical School maintains important psychiatric training programs. Providence's arts and hospitality economy creates consistent demand for therapists experienced with creative identity, economic precarity, and the mental health challenges of artists and performers.
