Teresa Vargas, PhD

Hi there, I'm Teresa!

I help people feel more grounded, clearer about what matters to them, and better equipped to make meaningful changes. My work centers on supporting clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves as they build insight and momentum toward a more meaningful life.

My focus

I work with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders including OCD, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety, often using exposure and response prevention. I also work with identity challenges, relationship issues, burnout, and chronic stress.

My approach

I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, and DBT to help you understand what's getting in your way, strengthen your existing skills, and take practical steps forward. Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and goal-oriented, but also flexible and responsive to what you need from session to session.
