About John Vargas, M.A., AMFT, APCC

Did you know that only 36% of Latinos in the U.S. receive mental health services?

Are you looking for a safe space to express how you actually feel? Looking for self-improvement but not sure where to start?

Hey! My name is John (he/him/él), and I’m a Latino male therapist. I bring clinical experience working with teens, young adults, and adults. I specialize in Latino/e/x young men’s and men’s mental health, focusing on emotional connections, identity, vulnerability, self-discovery, and relationships. I support your goals by utilizing culturally and LGBTQIA+ affirming, cognitive-based, and mindfulness-based approaches. I’m also trauma-informed and trained in Attachment-Focused EMDR. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute video consultation! I’ll get back to you within 24 hours.

I offer 100% virtual therapy sessions via video only for anyone located in California.

Currently, we’re not in-network with Medi-Cal versions of the listed insurances (only CenCal Medi-Cal of Santa Barbara County). We are also in-network with UC SHIP health insurance for University of California students.
