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.

Dr. Gayatri Singh

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 2.1 mi away • Louisville, KY


I am a seasoned psychotherapist and psychiatric provider with nearly two decades of experience in the behavioral health field. After earning a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2006, I became licensed by the Kentucky Board of Social Work. I also hold national certification in case management (CCMC), am a licensed supervisory-level addictions specialist (CADAC-IV) through the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium, and a licensed marriage and family therapist through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).

My academic journey continued with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University, specializing in integrated medical and behavioral health services, followed by a Post-Doctorate Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I further expanded my scope of practice through a Master’s Entry in Professional Nursing (BSN & MSN) from the University of Louisville in 2020, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Northern Kentucky University in 2021, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Duke University. I am board certified as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, licensed to prescribe and manage medications.

In addition to clinical practice, I have led multidisciplinary teams and supervised clinical operations, enhancing quality of care, staff development, and patient outcomes across diverse systems. I am deeply committed to lifelong learning and delivering compassionate, evidence-based, integrative care to individuals and families in both Kentucky and Indiana.
