Janet Denise VargasCounselor, LMHC

About

I believe that everyone has the right to live the life they imagine for themselves. Each of us has a right to feel safe, respected, protected and loved. I have been a psychotherapist for the past twenty years. I chose this profession because I wanted to continue to grow and explore life to its fullest in a work environment that generates positivity. I have worked extensively with the HIV/AIDS community, engaged in comprehensive therapy with sexual abuse and trauma clients, along with a focus on work/life balance concerns. I focus on the client’s strengths, and goals, and explore one's thoughts, past experiences, and belief systems. I utilize different therapeutic dynamics, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, Play, and Art Therapy. I offer a collaborative, eclectic, non-judgmental approach to help people better negotiate the imbalances in their lives and help them identify and achieve their goals. Change is always possible.
