Getting to know Sharon Vargas

My approach is based on who you are and what is relevant for you in order to be your best self. I collaboratively work with clients to reconnect with their innate strength and resilience on their journey to face change and heal unresolved issues. I use a variety of modalities that support a client's ability to reconnect with their inner self and identify ways in which they want to make positive changes. I treat a number of issues including unresolved complex trauma, addiction, co-occurring disorders, life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, Adult Children of Alcoholics, impact and insight into historical trauma, and sexual abuse. I am warm, empathetic, and supportive but not afraid to challenge clients when necessary. I utilize evidence-based and creative approaches such as CBT, Strength-Based approach, Trauma-Informed CBT, Family Systems, DBT, Jungian art-based skills and concepts, assertive communication skills, and mindfulness-based techniques. I hold a Master's in Social Work from New Mexico Highlands University and currently maintain active LCSW licenses in both California and New Mexico.

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.
