As a psychotherapist for 30 years I love seeing my patients get better! I firmly believe a "good fit" between therapist and patient is key to success. I love integrating evidenced based strategies that match my interpersonal style. In treatment we’ll address not only your current issues but their source. Therapy is a collaborative experience for my patients. It takes time to process and resolve the impact of chronic stress, trauma, abuse/neglect, shame, unhealthy relationships, conflict avoidance not to mention anxiety and depression. Yet with patience, persistence and the right therapist, it can be done!
Heather Vargo integrates her 30 yrs of clinical experience and expertise to quickly assess and explore patterns of beliefs and behaviors that interfere with your therapeutic objectives. She skillfully and compassionately guides her patients towards new insights and effective strategies to improve mood, build emotional resilience and enhance overall wellbeing
Heather Vargo LCSW has practiced as a licensed therapist since 1995. After years of working for large agencies with huge caseloads she started her own practice in 2003.. Life Guidance Assoc. is a small private practice by design, offering the highest quality of clinical psychotherapy services to each and everyone of her patients.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression and/or trauma due to relationships/family of origin issues. In our initial sessions we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, their origin and their impact and will collaborate on a plan for addressing them. Most of my clients report an improvement in symptoms after the first few sessions and progress to less frequent appointments
