About Our Practice
Andrea Vargas LMHC Child & Adolescent Counseling is a boutique counseling practice specializing in children, adolescents, and families.
Our office is located in Weston Florida, we serve children of all ages, teens, and their families in Broward County. We also see college students and offer telehealth services anywhere in the state of Florida.
Our experienced therapists have helped children and teens learn healthier coping strategies to improve behavior, anxiety, depression, and challenges in their lives.
Parents are provided with the insight, feedback, and tools they need to better support, communicate, and reconnect with their child.
All of our therapists are trained in play therapy and while they all have their unique style they are warm, playful, and down to earth allowing them to connect easily and quickly with your child or teen.
Play Therapy is known for being the most effective method of treatment for children between the ages of 3 and 12 years old.
Our office offers children a beautiful and safe therapeutic space to express and process their thoughts and feelings. Through therapeutic play your child will develop healthier ways of thinking, behaving, and coping.
Play therapy allows the therapist to see the child’s world through their eyes. Working closely with the parents in helping them get a deeper understanding of their child and what they can do to help.

Our GUIDING PRINCIPLES
UNDERSTANDING
Focus beyond behavior and symptoms to obtain an in-depth understanding of our young clients and design a more holistic and comprehensive treatment plan.
COLLABORATION
Parents are provided with insight, feedback, and tools to better support, communicate, and reconnect with their child. Working with the adults in the child’s world for better treatment outcomes.
CONNECTION
Taking time to build trust by listening without judgment allows for better healing. Operating from an Attachment Theory lens to strengthen the parent-child dynamic.
PLAY
Working with children and meeting them where they are developmentally utilizing play therapy to allow them to express and process their thoughts and feelings in the same way adults can with talk therapy.
What it’s like to work with us
“IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD”
We believe that your child’s treatment outcome is most successful when the people in their lives are included in the process. A collaborative team approach is ideal when children are in counseling.
an important note
Our support doesn’t stop in the therapy room.
We understand that your child or teen may benefit from additional support or resources beyond just therapy. Our team is happy to coordinate with other providers (including psychiatrists and physicians) as well as school systems in the development of IEPs. Contact us to learn more.
