LCSW, 20 years of experience
Considering counseling is a big step and takes courage. I want to offer you that safe space for you to share in a caring and understanding environment. I can help you through your challenging journey to overcome your angst. My name is Myrna Vargas-Evert and I an LCSW. My experience ranges from working with adults in empowering them to overcome the burden of Anxiety and Depression. I have also worked with children and families providing communication, parenting, and relaxation skills, CBT and Strength Based approaches. I am currently working with the Gerontology (older adult) population in Home Health & Hospice and persons who experienced a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) through a specialized return to Home & Community Program by providing support to the patients and their families so that they can have a more meaningful life.
The first session is focused on me getting to know you better. I gather information so that we can create a treatment plan together while at the same time documenting to insurance the reason for us to meet.
I will provide a safe place for you to share in a caring and nurturing space. I am also bilingual in Spanish and can connect with you in the language that best meets your needs.
