Virginia Hagen

Her experience includes working with families and children with special needs and ADHD, and addressing custody matters where she has provided testimony on behalf of children. She also brings grief work, eating disorder support, and help for depression, stress, anxiety, and addiction concerns.

Later in her career she pursued theological studies, earning a Certificate in Christian Studies from Asbury Theological Seminary and receiving ordination through the Federation of Christian Ministers in 2019. She also completed a hospital chaplain internship during Clinical Pastoral Education at UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Florida. These experiences inform how she integrates spiritual perspectives when clients want that option.

In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings and practical problems. She uses a mix of therapy approaches and tangible resources so people can use skills beyond the meeting. Parents who need clear guidance around family and parenting issues often find this straightforward approach helpful.

Her long career combines clinical work, nursing, pastoral training, and family-focused practice. That background shapes how she addresses complex situations involving attachment, communication, blended families, and caregiving stress. She encourages small steps and practical tools so families can move toward better day-to-day functioning.
