Ronnie Hager

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 2.6 mi away • Louisville, KY


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over four years of experience providing trauma-informed mental health care. Since beginning my therapy career in 2022, I have supported individuals facing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and attachment-related challenges.

I specialize in EMDR and mindfulness training, offering clients a dynamic blend of advanced therapeutic modalities and empathic presence. My approach is rooted in the belief that true healing requires both symptom relief and the opportunity to reframe core beliefs shaped by trauma. I believe in getting to the root of the present day issues.

My clinical work focuses on helping clients reclaim personal agency, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with meaning and self-worth. I hold space for deep emotional work and guide clients toward lasting transformation.

I am committed not just to alleviating distress but to empowering people to rewrite their stories.

Jan Rudd, Lmft

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.4 mi away • Louisville, KY


Hi! I'm Jan, a therapist with over 14 years of experience. I can help you with anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, career, ADHD, and childhood trauma. I understand how deeply these challenges can impact your life, as I’ve navigated similar paths myself. I’m here to offer a nurturing, safe space where your experiences are validated, and your voice is truly heard. Together, we’ll move beyond empathy toward meaningful solutions that fit your life—even if you have a busy schedule. To make healing accessible, I offer telehealth options along with afternoon and evening office hours.

My passion is working with the LGBTQIA+ community, women, young adults, and marginalized folx because they often struggle in ways that society fails to understand. (Please note, my practice generally focuses on clients other than cisgender, heterosexual men.)

My clients are often those who feel alone, sad, or are struggling to find their "people." Maybe you feel unhappy but aren't sure what your next steps should be. Or you feel stuck because of trauma or mood issues, and you're ready to get help because you can't do it alone anymore.

Have you been in a toxic romantic relationship that has made you feel small or worthless?

I specialize in helping you navigate the healing journey after a toxic relationship. Together, we’ll gently explore the underlying patterns and emotional wounds that led to these cycles, creating a safe space for you to process the past. By prioritizing your emotional recovery, you can reclaim your sense of self, restore your inner peace, and rediscover your confidence from the inside out.

Your story is your own, and I strive to create a space where you feel truly heard and understood, meeting you with empathy exactly where you are in your journey. As your supportive guide, I am here to help you navigate life’s challenges, fostering a deeper connection to yourself and helping you uncover your unique sense of purpose.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Louisville

Finding the right therapist in Louisville starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, a major life change, or relationship concerns, look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific needs. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before your first session.

Louisville has a large and diverse community of mental health providers practicing across neighborhoods like the Highlands, Old Louisville, St. Matthews, and beyond. Many offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule. Consider what matters most to you — a provider's specialty, their therapy style, or their availability — and use those preferences to narrow your search.

Therapy in Louisville can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see which providers are in-network and get an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their coverage.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
