My name is Gertrudis Vargas and I am a bicultural, bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 14 years of experience.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment to help you feel empowered to manage overwhelming feelings, explore your thoughts and experiences as well as to make sense of anxiety and depression. I can guide you as we identify patterns of unhelpful thoughts and behavior to develop more effective ways of coping with life’s difficulties and improve overall wellness.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I utilize different interventions and techniques from different evidence-based collaborative approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (FT-CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Play Therapy (PT) and Client-Centered Therapy (CCT). I am certified in the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P), which is a proven evidenced-based parenting program designed to foster better parenting and child relationships.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my goals is to provide you with guidance and support in identifying the tools to resolve your challenges and problems. I can help you regulate your emotions, and help you heal from past trauma and traumatic events. Through my interventions I will help you decrease and manage symptoms that impact your mood and overall daily functioning. Together, we can identify your internal resources and strengths, leading to meaningful and long lasting positive life changes.
