Virtual • Pasadena, CA


I am a dedicated mental health professional who supports children and adults through life’s challenges. I currently provide individual therapy only and do not offer couples counseling. My background in behavioral health and social services, along with hands-on community experience, has shaped my practical, compassionate, and solution-focused approach.

I have worked with individuals involved in the justice system, people living with serious mental illness, children in foster care, and families navigating behavioral or developmental concerns. My experience includes case management, crisis support, employment readiness, behavioral coaching, and coordinating care with medical providers, mental health facilities, and community programs to ensure consistent, long-term support.

I help clients facing depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, behavioral challenges in children and teens, parenting and co-parenting concerns, and reintegration after legal involvement. My approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered. I believe everyone has resilience and the ability to grow with the right support.

My style is warm, honest, and structured. I value accountability while always leading with empathy and respect. I focus on building coping skills, improving communication, setting clear goals, and developing practical strategies that support emotional balance and independence.

Hello, I’m Jeanet Vargas, LCSW dedicated to supporting individuals navigating divorce, breakups, and major life transitions. I am passionate in working with first generation population and professionals managing stress, anxiety, depression, and OCD.

As a first-generation individual, you may carry unique pressures—balancing family expectations, cultural values, and personal needs—while trying to honor where you come from and where you’re headed. Together, we’ll work through these challenges, exploring tools to manage grief, anxiety, and self-doubt, and to help you reconnect with your voice and inner strength.

I'm not just your therapist — I'm a mama who has been in the trenches too. After navigating my own postpartum experience and the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, I found my purpose: walking alongside mothers and families during some of life's most tender and transforming moments. Raising my amazing autistic son has also deepened my understanding of what it means to parent with love, resilience, and a whole lot of grace.

I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen — not judged, not rushed, just held. My approach is rooted in authenticity and compassion, creating a space where your full story is welcome. Whether you are struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, grief, or the emotional weight of a special needs diagnosis, you do not have to carry it alone.

This work is personal to me. And that's exactly why I show up the way I do.

Welcome to the therapeutic journey.

I work with clients who are experiencing chronic stress, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, self-sabotage, postpartum, and relationship challenges.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the deep and often hidden impacts of complex trauma — the kind that comes from chronic, long-term experiences such as childhood abuse, unhealthy relationships, illness, and adversity.

My work is grounded in compassion, safety, and collaboration. I meet each client exactly where they are on their healing journey. My work is guided by the core belief that you are worthy and deserve to thrive emotionally, mentally, and relationally.

Through mindful exploration and specialized care, we will work together to create meaningful, lasting change.

As a PMHNP-BC who specializes in autism, complex cases, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD/trauma, schizophrenia/psychosis disorders, and substance use, I've built my practice around understanding that every person's mental health journey is unique—especially when multiple conditions interact or when traditional approaches haven't worked.

I also provide comprehensive treatment for depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder, always with an understanding that these conditions often overlap and influence each other in complex ways. What I want you to know is this: your experiences are valid, your struggles make sense in the context of your life, and there's no such thing as being "too much" for treatment.

Whether you're masking autistic traits, battling compulsive behaviors, managing intense emotions, processing trauma, questioning reality, or struggling with substances, I meet you exactly where you are without trying to force you into a predetermined mold. My approach combines evidence-based treatments with deep respect for your individual needs and experiences.

You deserve a provider who doesn't see complexity as a problem to solve, but as a roadmap to understanding how to best support your unique path to wellness.
