Please read this carefully — especially the crisis resources below.

Not a substitute for care

The information on this site, including the blog, is educational and for general purposes only. It is not therapy, medical advice, or a diagnosis, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional who knows your situation.

No therapist–client relationship

Reading this site, contacting me through it, or following along on social media does not create a therapist–client relationship. That relationship begins only after we meet and formally begin working together.

Licensing

Sarah Hagen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia. Clinical services are available only to clients who are physically located in Virginia during sessions.

In a crisis

If you are in emotional distress or a mental health crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) any time. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
