Getting to know Nastassja Vargas

I am very passionate about holistic psychotherapy, as I have personally experienced great benefits from such an approach where traditional methods alone have failed me. I wanted to create a space that allows for healing, vitality, and wholeness-a place where people can return to their true selves. A place where people come to understand that they make perfect sense. A place where all are welcome regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, or ability. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology with a Minor in Psychology from California State University, Bakersfield. I received my Master of Social Work degree with an emphasis on clinical services for children, adults, and families from Azusa Pacific University in 2013. I became a licensed Clinical Social Worker in early 2017. With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I have provided case management, advocacy, crisis intervention, and individual and group counseling to persons ranging from neonates to older adults. I have worked in various settings, including hospitals, emergency shelters, outpatient behavioral health programs, adult day health care facilities, correctional facilities, and private practice. My experience includes treating anxiety, mood, and psychotic disorders, as well as adjustment issues, relational challenges, and bereavement.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. Additionally, I am experienced in treating adjustment issues, grief and loss, relational issues, codependency, perfectionism, and shame. I utilize a holistic therapeutic approach, which is a combination of contemporary and alternative treatments, combined with evidence-based practices, to assist people in achieving a balance in mind, body, and energy naturally. This approach views the person as a whole being, paying close attention to all aspects of a person’s life, as issues in one area can create issues in other areas. A deeper understanding of the whole self can lead to increased self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-acceptance, as well as emotional and physical well-being. Treatment is tailored to each individual person and is a collaborative effort between client and therapist. Treatment is grounded in Polyvagal and Attachment Theories. Treatment approaches can include but are not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Parts Work Therapy, Somatic Psychotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), Neuro-Nutrient Therapy (the use of amino acids, vitamins, and diet changes), and Brainspotting.
