About me

I am a Board Certified (ACSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with over (40) years of experience in Mental Health Counseling. I am also a Licensed Ordained Pastor with a Ph.D in Theology with (12) years experience in Pastoral Services. I have worked with clients with a variety of mental health disorders and relationship issues including depression, anger management, stress and anxiety, grief and lost, marital, family and parenting difficulties. I have also helped many people who have experienced a variety of abuse beginning in their early life including physical, neglect, sexual, emotional and abandonment difficulties.

My counseling style is warm, interactive, nonjudgmental and compassionate. My desire is to help clients develop positive coping skills, recover from problematic situations and the freedom to grow towards achieving the quality of life that will give them balance and happiness.

My approach incorporates client-centered therapy combined with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution focus, motivational interviewing and spiritual development are designed to promote change and transformation.

My clients have reported feeling respected, nonjudgmental and easy to establish rapport. This takes courage and learning to trust another person to help you work through areas of difficulties that will bring on increased happiness and contentment in life.

If you are ready to take that step, I am here to take on the challenge and take that step with you. I look forward to working with you.

I have enjoyed my initial sessions with Dr. Hagans. She listens intently and provides practical advice. I feel that my feelings are validated and that I have the space to speak freely without judgement. She has affirmed many of the things I had been thinking, and that is a great feeling when you are embarking on a therapy journey.
