Nancy Vargas, LCSW

Welcome! I’m Nancy.

I help adults and teens drop their struggle with anxiety, body image, and trauma. Individuals working with me in therapy build new ways to unhook from painful thoughts and feelings, heal old stories from the past that feed the current struggle, and rediscover actions that bring richness and meaning to their lives.

How I Can Help

  • ACT

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) empowers individuals to embrace their thoughts and feelings and commit to actions aligned with their values. By fostering psychological flexibility, ACT encourages acceptance of experiences, even difficult ones, rather than avoidance. This cultivates present-moment awareness, promoting an authentic life. With mindfulness techniques and value-driven goals, ACT guides you toward fulfillment, enhancing emotional well-being and resilience.

  • CBT

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented psychotherapy that examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By challenging negative thoughts and engaging in real-life exposure, individuals can reshape perceptions and improve coping skills. CBT effectively addresses issues like anxiety, depression, and stress, serving as a versatile tool for personal growth and emotional well-being. You’ll learn practical strategies to navigate challenges and build resilience.

  • Self-Compassion

    Self-Compassion Focused Therapy (SCFT) helps individuals navigate emotions with kindness. It encourages treating oneself as a friend, fostering nurturing inner dialogue for healing and self-acceptance. Through guided techniques, you’ll learn to embrace vulnerabilities, reduce self-criticism, and build resilience. Cultivating self-compassion leads to a positive self-relationship, improved mental well-being, and fulfillment. SCFT empowers self-discovery, uncovering strength and hope.

  • EMDR

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals heal from trauma. By using bilateral stimulation and recalling distressing memories, EMDR reduces the emotional impact of those memories. This technique is effective for anxiety, PTSD, and other trauma-related conditions, empowering you to reclaim life and enhance your emotional well-being. EMDR provides a compassionate path toward healing and personal growth.
