Ana Vargas

Intake Specialist

Ana brings several years of experience with Palo Alto Therapy, where she has had the opportunity to support clients, clinicians, and the practice in a variety of roles. With a background in client care and mental health practice operations, she understands how meaningful that first connection can be when someone is beginning to look for support.

As an Intake Specialist, Ana enjoys connecting with individuals and families, learning a little about what brings them to therapy, answering questions, and helping make the process of finding the right therapist feel a little easier. She thoughtfully considers each person’s needs, preferences, and goals when helping connect them with a therapist who may be a good fit.

Having grown up in the Bay Area, Ana feels especially connected to the community Palo Alto Therapy serves. She is grateful to be part of a team that values thoughtful, compassionate care and enjoys being able to help people navigate that important first step.

Her hope is that each person she speaks with feels welcomed, heard, and supported, and leaves the conversation feeling a little more comfortable and confident about what comes next.
