Hi, my name is Emily Nagel and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years experience working with children, teens and adults. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety and trauma from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective. I integrate cognitive behavioral foundations with interpersonal, developmental and neuro-affirming frameworks. In this way, I can support you to learn more about yourself- how to navigate symptoms, emotions, stressors, somatic responses, relationships, and identity to engage mindfully in your life. With curiosity, compassion and humor, we can work together to facilitate the life you want, from wherever you are starting. After growing up in Charlottesville, Virginia, I graduated from the University of Mary Washington with a major in psychology, and earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University. I am committed to the local community and the health of its residents. In my free time, I enjoy staying active physically, socially and creatively- always with a new project.
