Kim Hagen, LISW
Licensed Independent Social Worker
CEO/Therapist
Kim believes that mental and emotional well-being grows through meaningful connections—with ourselves, with others, and within the systems we live in. Whether it’s in families, schools, workplaces, or communities, Kim supports clients in navigating life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and collaboration.
With a warm, non-judgmental presence, Kim meets clients where they are and draws from a range of therapeutic approaches to promote growth and resilience. She offers therapy to children (ages 5+), teens, adults, couples, and families, tailoring each session to the unique needs and strengths of the individual or group.
Kim is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in the state of Iowa and earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from the University of Iowa. Since 2006, she has worked extensively in community mental health, supporting clients with concerns such as anxiety, depression, attention difficulties, behavior challenges, mood disorders, and trauma.
In addition to individual therapy, Kim has worked closely with schools to provide support for students, collaborating with educators and administrators to promote student wellness and success. She is trained in Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) through Think:Kids.
Kim is a certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist who offers compassionate, individualized support for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Recognizing that each person on the spectrum experiences the world in their own unique way, Kim tailors her approach to meet the specific strengths, needs, and goals of every client. Drawing from evidence-based practices including Collaborative Problem Solving, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Social Skills Training, she helps individuals build emotional regulation, problem-solving abilities, and meaningful connections. Kim also collaborates with schools to ensure appropriate accommodations and modifications are in place, fostering environments where clients can thrive both academically and socially.
Specialties include:
- Individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults
- Couples counseling with a focus on communication, connection, and shared goals
- Family therapy to support healthier relationships, emotional understanding, and collaboration
- School-based support and coordination
- Specialized training in assessment, support, and interventions for individuals on the autism spectrum
Outside of the office, Kim enjoys spending time with her family, watching her kids in their activities, going on bike rides, and relaxing on the deck. She finds joy (and stress relief!) in keeping her home and yard looking nice, and she’s a devoted fan of true crime documentaries.
Kim currently provides virtual individual and family therapy to Iowa residents ages 5 and up. Teletherapy is web-based and can be easily accessed from your home through a computer, smartphone, or tablet. Video conferencing platform is HIPAA-compliant and does not require any downloads. Hours vary and are by appointment only. Evening and weekend hours are available upon request.
