For more than twenty years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents, adults, and couples during some of the most difficult and meaningful seasons of their lives. I believe that sometimes it can be difficult to see beyond the darkness in front of us. My role is to listen without judgement while helping you find your way toward the light again.

I am ready to listen and to help you in any way I can. I have helped many people reduce anxiety and depression and I would like to help you as well. I have worked with college students, new moms, men, people dealing with work/life balance, grief and loss and older adults who are going through various issues such as struggles with their adult children and health issues. Let's turn some of those tears into laughter. Let's talk.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

My 18 years of experience in this field enables me to address a wide range of patient needs. I am committed to providing flexible, nonjudgmental, and culturally sensitive care to a diverse patient population. From the time of the first appointment (and consistently thereafter), the patient and I will review their reasons for seeking care, discuss current challenges and stressors, and identify treatment goals. This information guides my formulation of an individualized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs and objectives.

[Please note]:

-This provider/practice is not currently accepting referrals for the treatment of ADHD/ADD.

-This provider/practice is only accepting new patients for medication management (or integrated medication management & psychotherapy) services at this time. Provider is unavailable for standalone psychotherapy services. Thank you.

Great to meet you! I believe mental health care is most effective when it is built on a foundation of mutual respect, active listening, and genuine support. In my practice, I specialize in working with adults navigating the complexities of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and major life transitions. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, so I prioritize a relationship where you feel heard not just as a patient, but as a person.

Wendy Hagen

Wendy Hagen

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


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.

Hello, I’m Cara, a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree in social work. My approach is warm, down‐to‐earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it feels genuine and human. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and use practical, evidence‐based tools like coping strategies, mindset shifts, and boundary work. I make space for humor and real connection, combining these skills with deeper exploration of patterns, self‐compassion, and emotional insight to support lasting, meaningful change.
