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.
My clinical degree is a Master of Science in Social Administration (MSSA, MSW equivalent) from Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio (2016). I completed my Master of Education in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) from University of Cincinnati (2016), and have experience as a provider of ABA services. I have a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University(2020).

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newton
Searching for therapists in Newton starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare Newton therapists, look for specialties and approaches that connect to your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or support for young adults. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their focus areas, communication style, and what sessions may be like.
Newton has local therapy options, but availability can vary by schedule, neighborhood, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual care. If nearby appointments are limited, virtual therapy can expand your options across Massachusetts while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes their approach. These details can help you choose a therapist who fits your schedule, preferences, and care goals.
Therapy in Newton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare providers who are accepting new patients. You can confirm coverage for your specific plan and location on Headway before booking. You can browse profiles, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
