About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Virginia with 7 years of experience working as a Mental Health Professional. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, PTSD, and ADHD. My goal is to be a bridge in the relationship to help open communication and expressing your needs and emotions to one another.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, and compassion, and I don't believe in telling you what to do because you are the expert on you. My approach combines a cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, and strengths based approach, using trauma informed care techniques. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage and strength to seek a therapeutic partner and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support, encourage, and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Akiitha Hagans. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Akiitha was immensely helpful. We were struggling to move on from some traumatic events that occurred in our marriage, and with Akiitha’s guidance and support, we improved our communication with each other and are moving forward together. Akiitha helped us focus on the positive aspects of our relationship and build off of them, planning for more happiness and breaking out of our cycle of negativity. We would highly recommend her to any couple that is struggling with moving on from a difficult time in their relationship and lives.
