Michelle Hagerty

My name is Michelle Hagerty, LCSW, owner and licensed therapist at Rooted Path Therapy. I have worked in the field of mental health since 2010 and earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Walden University. I appreciate the opportunity to support you in your therapeutic journey. At the start of treatment, we will complete an initial assessment, which allows us to explore important aspects of your life, understand your current concerns, and identify areas where you may benefit from support. This process also helps establish appropriate diagnostic considerations and guides the development of an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals. My therapeutic approach is strength-based and solution-focused, meaning we will work together to identify your existing strengths and resources while developing practical strategies for growth and change. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which you play an active and meaningful role. While I provide guidance, structure, and clinical insight, I also believe that you are the expert on your own experiences. My role is to support you in gaining clarity, building confidence, and developing the perspectives and skills needed to make decisions that align with your values and goals.
