Getting to know Arelly Vargas
Arelly Vargas, LSW
Bilingual Licensed Social Worker
I earned my Master of Social Work from Dominican University and have experience working in schools and in private practice. My professional background includes working with children, adolescents and adults from all different backgrounds.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey grounded in trust, compassion, and collaboration. It takes courage to slow down, reflect, and be honest about the parts of life that may feel difficult or overwhelming, and I strive to create a space where you can do that without fear of judgment. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts, experiences, and patterns that may be impacting your life, while also recognizing the strengths and resilience that have helped you get where you are today. I believe you are the expert of your life, and my role is to walk alongside you by offering support, perspective, and practical tools as we work toward the changes that matter most to you.
Arelly Vargas es trabajadora social con licencia y bilingüe, con una maestría en Trabajo Social de Dominican University. Trabaja desde un enfoque holístico y basado en fortalezas, dando la bienvenida a personas de todas las edades y contextos.
