I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, grief, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to keep carrying everything on their own.

My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in practical tools. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported as we work toward greater calm, clarity, and stability. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping you move forward in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Paducah, KY


In mental healthcare, true healing happens when you feel completely seen, heard, and met with grace. My mission is to partner with you to navigate life's complexities, balancing clinical excellence with deep empathy. I look at wellness holistically...focusing not just on managing symptoms, but on supporting your mind, body, and spirit so that you can thrive.

I believe that to encourage holistic wellness in others, I must practice it myself. When I am not working, you can usually find me spending quality time with my children, tackling a DIY home improvement project, or planning our next big roadtrip adventure. I have a deep love for long-distance travel, exploring historic highways, slowing down the pace of life and meeting strangers across America.

I have proudly served the healthcare community for over 25 years, working in an array of settings. For the past 8 years I have focused on mental health and helping others heal their mind, body, and soul with medication management, psychotherapy, and hormone balancing. I treat ages across the lifespan starting at age 4.

I specialize in treating ADHD/Autism, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Substance Use Disorders, and many other diagnoses by providing compassionate, evidence base care and diagnostic evaluations for a variety of mental health needs.

My mission is to remind others that the strength to rise after a fall already lives within them. Throughout my own journey, I’ve experienced many setbacks—moments when getting back up felt out of reach, and failure felt final. But over time, each fall revealed a lesson, and each step forward brought growth, clarity, and resilience. I possess a diverse clinical foundation, supporting individuals with developmental disorders, autism spectrum disorder, mood and personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. I’ve been honored to serve in multiple therapeutic roles, offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy to those seeking healing and meaningful change.

Couples who call me say they've drifted apart, feel more like roommates, and affection has stopped. Ineffective patterns of communication prevent them from reaching to each other. The magic in their relationship has died and the dance has ended. Individuals who call me say they are exhausted, discouraged, and dissatisfied with life. Old thoughts and behaviors continue to negatively impact who they are, what they want to accomplish, and their relationships. They too, have lost the meaning and magic of life. Healthy relationships, whether with yourself or others, are key to a happy, satisfying, life and keeping the magic going.

Shaped by own life experiences, I became a social worker to help people navigate the uncertainties of life. We have all gone through transitions in life from career changes to family changes. It can be really hard to do that alone. After earning my degree in social work, I dedicated my career to roles helping adults, youth, and family systems. I understand how difficult it can be to go through a separation/divorce, family changes, job changes, growing into teen years and added stress - especially while also trying to manage the day to day life. Ive been there myself! My mission is to foster hope, stability, a listening ear, and skills you can walk away with.

Ronnie Hager

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 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.
