Wendy Hagen

My name is Wendy Hagen, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW).

I believe therapy should feel both comfortable and useful in your everyday life. We’ll talk about what’s happening, but we’ll also work on practical skills you can use between sessions. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself, knowing you’ll be met with compassion, honesty, and without judgment.

There may be difficult conversations, moments when something finally clicks, and probably some humor along the way. I’ll listen, offer perspective, and gently challenge you when it may help. My goal is for you to leave with greater clarity, confidence, and tools you can actually use as you navigate life.

Therapy with me is a conversation, a collaboration, and a place where you can be yourself. I use an eclectic approach because I believe there is no single path that works for everyone. We’ll tailor our work to you, your goals, and what you’re experiencing. Along the way, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way, build on your existing strengths, and find practical tools that fit your everyday life. My hope is that you leave feeling more grounded, confident, and resilient—and more trusting of your ability to navigate whatever comes next.

Think of your first session as a conversation and a chance to begin figuring things out together. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what’s been happening in your life, and what you’d like help with. You’ll have space to ask questions and share what feels comfortable as we get to know each other.

There’s no need to have all the answers or know exactly where to begin. Just show up as you are. We’ll take that first step together and build from there.
