Hagar Kaufman

Hi, I'm Hagar, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, stress, self-esteem concerns, and relationship challenges. I have experience working across a variety of settings and bring a broad understanding of how personal experiences, relationships, and larger systems can influence mental health and well-being. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, navigate life's challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I take an individualized approach to therapy, drawing from EMDR, mindfulness, parts-work and other evidence-based practices to meet each client's unique needs and goals. I believe meaningful change comes from understanding not only what is happening within you, but also the experiences, relationships, and systems that have shaped your life. Together, we'll build insight, strengthen resilience, and develop practical tools to support growth both in and outside of therapy.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a foundation for our work together. I'll take time to learn about what brings you to therapy, your goals, strengths, and the challenges you're currently facing. My aim is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, sharing openly, and identifying what you hope to gain from therapy.
