Karen Vargas is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling from Sam Houston State University and a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Texas Tech University. She is also a National Certified Counselor with over 13 years of experience in education and school counseling, working closely with adolescents and families from diverse backgrounds.

Karen believes that every individual has the strength and potential to grow through life’s challenges. She strives to provide a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where clients feel safe to share their stories and begin their mental health journey. Her approach is collaborative and compassionate- focused on helping clients recognize their inner strengths and build healthy patterns of thinking and behavior.

Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, Karen helps clients manage and overcome challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, past trauma, relationship issues, ADHD, and pre-/postpartum transitions. Her goal is to help each client improve their overall quality of life by developing balance between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, Karen values connection and cultural sensitivity in her work, allowing her to reach and support a broader range of individuals and families.

Outside of counseling, Karen enjoys spending time with her husband of 14 years and their three boys. She loves running, being outdoors, and staying involved in her community. Her years working with at-risk youth and families-including those experiencing homelessness, foster care, and economic hardship- have strengthened her passion for helping others find hope, healing, and resilience.

I am an advanced practice registered nurse who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and supporting individuals with psychiatric and behavioral health conditions. Combining clinical expertise with a holistic, person‐centered approach,

So much of my work is rooted in one question: what happens when we stop trusting ourselves? For me, that question became very personal.

After the birth of my first child, I found myself carrying not only physical pain but a deep sense of disconnection. I was listening to every voice but my own — questioning my body, my instincts, my inner wisdom. It was disorienting in a way I hadn't expected.

With my second child, something shifted. The experience felt empowering, attuned, and deeply mine. I listened inward. I trusted my body. And I witnessed firsthand just how intelligent and wise the body truly is when we feel safe enough to connect with it.

That journey brought me back to something foundational — the body knows. Our minds and bodies are constantly communicating with us. But life has a way of teaching us to override those signals. Trauma, stress, cultural conditioning, the pressure to hold it all together — they all teach us to ignore our inner knowing. Healing, I believe, is often about learning to listen again. It's a homecoming.

I provide personalized mental health care for adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and related concerns. My focus is helping you feel better, think more clearly, and regain control of your daily life.

I offer comprehensive evaluations and medication management through secure telehealth across Texas, with in-person availability in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Treatment is tailored to your unique needs, with careful attention to effectiveness, side effects, and long-term stability.

I work with clients presenting with a variety of concerns, but work primarily with family history and attachment patterns showing up in the present. Many of my clients come in for current stressors, and find they also need help with developmental trauma.

Clients are welcome to book the first available consultation time on my calendar. Often my first available is far in the future, so I reach out to clients once booking is complete to offer my current availability.
