We are designed for movement . What IS movement ? I have devoted over 35 years to helping others go to the next step: allowing movement to occur. Movement can be as nuanced and magnificent as a shift ! With my experience and expertise as a Theatre Movement Specialist I support people to employ their intelligence of mind and body, and when ready, to let go of “the stuck” and experience change. I bring a holistic approach to the human existence through examination of meaning, personal responsibility , values, freedom , human potential, spirituality and self actualization.

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.
