John Vargas, AMFT, APCC

Hello! My name is John Vargas (he/him/él) and I provide 100% telehealth via video anywhere in California! I use a person-centered, culturally and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and mindfulness-based approach in my work with individuals (teens, young adults, and adults). I use various evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-focused Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I work with teens, young adults, and adults. I specialize in young men's mental health, the LGBTQIA+ community, and the Latino/e/x community. I acknowledge the life stressors and barriers (individual and systemic) clients go through and their immediate needs. I prioritize creating an environment where you can express your true authentic self and feelings. I'm committed that you feel heard, respected, and safe in your therapeutic space.
