Getting to know Maria de los A. Vargas
Hello! My name is Maria de los Angeles Vargas, and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my master's degree in social work with honors from the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras, and I also completed training at Escuela Hotelera de San Juan.
Before becoming a therapist, I was simply a human being, and through my work, I have come to realize just how human I am. I am down to earth and easy to talk to. The greatest honor in my life has been helping people from all walks of life and receiving their trust as a gift.
Significant or stressful life events can bring adjustment challenges and uncertainty. I have extensive experience working with adults and seniors to manage issues such as life transitions, workplace concerns, women's issues, depression, anxiety, anger management, end-of-life counseling, and bereavement.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I will call you a “participant” because I expect you to have an active role in the therapeutic process. During the first session, we will get to know each other and evaluate your comfort level working with me and collaboratively initiate a plan of care that we can adjust together through your progress.
My goal is to provide you with unconditional positive regard and a safe space to process your thoughts and feelings. I will be asking you with genuine curiosity about your lifestyle and perception of the situations, to empower you to develop critical thinking and strengthen the most important person: you. I focus on assisting people in developing achievable goals and gaining insight to develop healthy strategies for support.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
