Roots in Mind Psychotherapy

Teresa Vargas
Business Excerpt
I specialize in working with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are managing high expectations—whether external or internal—that leave them feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. I offer a space to explore painful emotions, heal from past experiences, and reconnect with your values to build a life that feels grounded and meaningful. I also have experience working with individuals who are LGBTIA+, first-generation, BIPOC, or navigating complex cultural or family dynamics.
Business Description
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and researcher with a PhD in Clinical Science from Northwestern University. I completed my clinical residency at Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital and continued my training through a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard. I currently serve as a researcher in the Department of Psychology at Harvard and as a psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. My work focuses on helping people connect with their strengths, clarify their values, and make meaningful, lasting change.
I use evidence-based approaches—including CBT, ACT, and DBT—to help clients identify what matters most, build on existing strengths, and take practical, values-driven steps forward. I offer a structured and supportive space where we set goals, track progress, and work collaboratively toward lasting change.
I offer a structured, compassionate space where we work together to set goals, track progress, and navigate challenges. My approach blends scientific insights with empathy to support growth that is sustainable and meaningful, helping you stay grounded and connected to what gives life purpose and direction.
