Kimberleigh Hagar, LCSW

Hi, I’m Kimberleigh. I live by my planner and marker pens to help me hold all the parts of my life together in a colorfully organized way. I embrace my “type-A” personality, honoring the parts of it that help me to feel productive and successful, while actively trying to keep in check that parts that can get in the way sometimes. I’m an ambivert (combo introvert/extrovert) who seeks out and enjoys adventures with my friends and family, but also knows when that needs to be balanced with quiet time to keep me feeling grounded. I lived in Illinois my whole life before moving to North Carolina for warmer winters a few years ago.

I work with women who often feel an imbalance in their lives and are quick to sacrifice self-care for others or in the face of stress. They’re trying to learn how to shift their mindset and prioritize themselves in order to feel more peace of mind. Using many of the skills and strategies I teach my clients, I know the value that can come from feeling mindfully balanced in your mind, body, soul, and connections.
