Regan Hager, LMHC Areas of Treatment:

I am passionate about helping individuals who have experienced emotional, physical, or sexual traumas find healing and strength. I work with clients facing a variety of challenges, including mood and anxiety disorders, self-esteem issues, anger management, ADHD, and the traumatic experience of sexual abuse. I also provide support for those dealing with grief, stress, communication issues, and trauma. My goal is to offer a compassionate, supportive space where you can work through these difficulties and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I have experience working with children, teens, and families on problems in school settings, concerns relating to adoption, behavioral problems, and infant mental health. I am currently not accepting clients under the age of 18.

Certifications

I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist, a Certified Adoption Counselor, as well as a Harris Trained Infant Mental Health Therapist.  I am a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors. I am a Certified Daring Way Facilitator, trained in The Daring Way™ and the various curriculums based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown.

Frequently Asked Questions

I see clients Monday through Thursday 8am-4pm by appointment only. My last session starts at 3pm.

Counseling sessions are normally scheduled on a weekly or bi-weekly basis depending upon the nature of the concern. Sessions are typically 50 minutes long. 

I follow the professional, legal and ethical guidelines of the American Psychological Association and the state of Florida. This means that information about your counseling sessions is not shared with anyone without your expressed written permission. There are some exceptions to confidentiality: if there is the possibility of harm to the client or another person, or in cases of child or elder abuse, I am mandated to report certain information to the appropriate authorities. More information about the limits to confidentiality is written in my informed consent form and discussed in session.

Fees are $150 per 50 minute session. Payment is expected at the time of your appointment. Payment is accepted in the form of cash, check, HSA cards, or major credit cards. 

I do not accept insurance.  Most of my clients choose to not involve their insurance provider in their treatment.  Here are some of the advantages:

  • You won’t have a diagnosis label permanently attached to your health record.
  • Your records are protected, which means all information about you, including very personal information, cannot be obtained by the insurance company.
  • Your care is not dictated by the insurance company, but by the collaborative efforts formed by my professional expertise and your personal preferences and goals.

I will gladly provide you with documentation for out-of-network benefits.

Everyone’s time is valuable and appointment times are limited, so I ask that you provide 48 hours notice if you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment. This affords the opportunity to reschedule the time block should a scheduling conflict arise. If you do not cancel your appointment 48 hours before the time of your scheduled appointment, you will be billed a full session fee ($150).

My office is located at 4300 Bayou Blvd, Suite 21 in Madison Park Business Complex, conveniently located on the corner of Bayou Blvd and 12th Ave. You can find directions to my office on the Contact page.

What is EMDR therapy?

I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps people heal from trauma and distressing experiences. It extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma, panic attacks, complicated grief, dissociative disorders, disturbing memories, phobias, pain disorders, performance anxiety, stress reduction, additions, sexual and/or physical abuse, body dysmorphic disorders, and personality disorders.  It works by helping your brain process and reframe painful memories so they feel less overwhelming. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or sound) to allow you to “reprocess” these memories in a way that reduces their emotional response. It’s especially helpful for those struggling with PTSD, anxiety, or past trauma. I have found it to be a powerful tool for my clients for healing and moving forward. We can discuss your current concerns and see whether EMDR could be an effective modality for you in counseling. You can learn more about EMDR by visiting EMDRIA– EMDR International Association.
