Kassandra Vargas, AMFT

Associate Clinician

(she/her/hers)

My name is Kassandra and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist whose passion is supporting clients wherever they may be on their healing journey. I have worked with children, teens, and adults of varying cultural backgrounds and identities who have struggled with anxiety, depression, relational issues, trauma and attachment disruption. I believe that our upbringing and past greatly influence how we see and connect in the world, and can impact our relationships with ourselves and others. Therefore, a focus of our work together may involve understanding how your previous experiences continue to impact you presently. 

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strength-based, holistic, and trauma-informed. With my warm presence and focus on our therapeutic relationship, I hope to build a safe place in which you can explore your feelings, patterns of behavior and beliefs. We will begin to explore and understand your life narratives and challenge those that hinder your ability to be present.

I find great value in recognizing the connection between mind, body, emotions and spirit, and may incorporate mindfulness, meditation, guided imagery, or other practices that allow you to be present as your whole self. By building upon your strengths,

co-creating goals, and working at your pace, I hope to be a witness of your growth and healing during this part of your life journey.

About me: As a third-generation Mexican-American who was raised to follow a combination and often conflicting set of cultural values, I recognize the complexity of culture within our multitude of identities. I honor the Indigenous healing practices and plant medicine of my ancestors in order to stay connected to my ancestral roots, culture, and spirituality in a more meaningful way. Some of my identities include being a mother of two daughters, a partner, daughter and sister. I enjoy spending time with my family, connecting with nature, and listening to music/singing during my free time.
