Rachel Vargese

Rachel Vargese is originally from Thunder Bay, she has lived in a number of cities in Southern Ontario where she completed her Masters in Social Work at Wilfrid Laurier University. Now based out of Calgary, Rachel is passionate about working with people from a strength based approach in helping people develop skills towards reaching their goals. She holds extensive experience working with families in a variety of settings, primarily children with special needs and pediatric medicine. This has given Rachel a unique lens in which to view experiences of grief and loss. I practice using a variety of modalities (CBT, DBT , Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused), recognizing the most important therapeutic factor is a positive and trusting relationship.
