Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

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.

Scotty Caudill

Scotty Caudill

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Hi, I’m Scotty! It is my goal to join with you and guide both of us in growth through the power of the therapeutic relationship. Although I describe my therapeutic approach as eclectic, I lean heavily toward Relational-Cultural Theory. I believe that people grow in relationships that exhibit mutual empathy and empowerment. I have particular interest in the effects of trauma on an individual’s mental and physical health and methods in which those effects can be mitigated.

Solution-Focused Therapy is an integral part of my practice as well. SFT is a solution-focused, future-oriented form of therapy that focuses on your strengths as a way to reach your goals. In this paradigm, you, the client, are viewed as the expert on your life.

I have worked in the field of mental health for nearly 30 years. My clients have come from all age groups, educational levels, and socioeconomic statuses. I have worked with clients in community mental health, prison, long-term care, and hospice. I hold a Masters of Arts in Psychology from Marshall University and a Masters in Social Work from the University of New England.

In my free time, I enjoy reading post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction. When I’m not reading, I spend hours enjoying nature in the Appalachian Mountains along with my Great Pyrenees, Ghost.

Licensed in Kentucky with over six years of professional counseling experience, I specialize in assisting clients in overcoming life challenges stemming from various issues, including anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, and abuse.

I firmly believe that you possess the expertise and inherent strengths to overcome the barriers that hinder genuine healing and personal growth. Embarking on a journey towards a more fulfilling and happy life requires courage, and I am committed to providing unwavering support and empowerment throughout your transformative process.
