I accept some insurance plans (Cigna, Optum/United, and Aetna plans) and additionally provide therapy for adults in care-providing roles (think adults who are guardians/parents or who work in fields that serve youth). If folks are interested in starting therapy, they can call my business line at (303) 416-6492, email me at nancy.vargas.lcsw@deltacounselingandwellness.com or visit my website at www.deltacounselingandwellness.com to request a free 15-minute phone consultation. Outside of individual therapy, I'd like to start providing training and workshops for individuals who work with teens to support adolescent mental health and social-emotional development. I also love connecting with youth on mental health advocacy and thought-partnering on community-based or school-based projects! |
