Mary Margaret Hagen

Is your child struggling in school? Are you feeling overwhelmed with emotional outbursts and behavior challenges? Do you feel like you’re not connecting with your child and don’t know what to do? Are you looking for ways to help your child after a significant loss or traumatic experience? I want you to know there’s help available! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who specializes in working with children struggling with grief, anger and aggression, anxiety, depression, and symptoms related to trauma. I seek to create a safe, non-judgmental, non-intrusive atmosphere for children to truly express their emotions and desires. As a former elementary school teacher, I have extensive experience in working with children and families. In my work with children, I utilize Synergetic Play Therapy, a research-informed model of play therapy that helps re-wire the brain and supports children in finding new ways to respond to stress and challenges. You, as the parent or guardian, know your child best, so I strive to work closely with you to create meaningful goals and monitor your child’s progress. I realize that seeking a therapist for your child is a difficult process, and I feel honored that you are considering working with me. Please reach out. I’d love to talk with you!
