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.

Dr. Roslyn Phenix
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, (Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor)
FaithWorks Christian and Family Counseling is a great practice because it is founded upon not only natural ways to help clients heal. This practice offers counseling from a Christian perspective. This means during session, I find ways to include God's Word. For example, upon client's comfortablility, I do offer prayer before and after each session. In session, I point client's to ways that they can receive their healing through making sure to include the wisdom of God in their everyday lives. My motto is that self care along with divine care makes for a prosperous life. When we have both of those things going for us, we can't go wrong. My approach is through the Word of God as well as through solution focused therapy. Solution focused therapy means that I am not the only one providing solutions to the problem. My clients have a hand in brainstorming ways they think they can improve their lives. Therefore, my practice is set up to partner with clients in their healing. My clients know we are in this together. My practice is also run on a negotiable fee scale. My fees are only $80 per session, but I cut that in half if the full price is unaffordable. I do not believe in breaking the bank for anyone, and I don't want people to feel that they can't enroll in therapy due to not being able to maintain the cost of it.

Enma Cordero Rodriguez
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP
I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re looking for someone who truly 'gets it.' My journey in medicine began as a physician in Cuba, and today, as a Board-Certified PMHNP and DNP candidate, I bring that depth of medical knowledge to every session. I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals and families navigate the complexities of ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression.
Being bilingual in English and Spanish, I am committed to providing culturally competent care where nothing is 'lost in translation.' My goal is to move past the labels and help you rediscover a sense of balance and clarity. You aren’t just a diagnosis to me; you are a whole person, and I’m here to support your path to wellness with both science and soul
