Kim Wagner, LCSW Licensed Therapist, Founder of WCCD
Helping Professional Women Navigate Complex Relationship Patterns
High-achieving women don't always struggle in obvious ways. Often, the challenge is quieter—a marriage that functions logistically but lacks emotional connection or safety, relationship patterns that keep repeating, the exhausting uncertainty of whether to stay or go, or the weight of managing a demanding career alongside home and partnership responsibilities.
With over 20 years of experience, Kim Wagner specializes in helping professional women explore the emotional patterns keeping them stuck—in their marriages, their dating lives, and their relationship with themselves. This work goes beyond surface-level coping strategies. It's about understanding why the same dynamics keep showing up and learning how to create something different.
Kim works with professional women dealing with:
Difficult Relationship Decisions
Kim works with women in marriages or long-term partnerships that feel unfulfilling, emotionally disconnected, or increasingly difficult to sustain. Whether the question is "should I stay or leave" or "can this actually get better," Kim helps women gain clarity about their relationship and make empowered decisions about their future.
Relationship Anxiety
Kim helps you understand where relationship anxiety comes from, how it's shaped by attachment patterns from early relationships, and how to develop a more secure, grounded way of connecting—both in dating and in long-term partnerships.
Attachment Patterns in Dating and Marriage
Kim helps women understand how early relationship experiences shape current patterns—why certain dynamics feel familiar even when they're painful, why the same types of partners keep appearing, or why intimacy feels overwhelming or suffocating.
Balancing Career, Relationships, and Home
Kim works with women managing demanding careers while navigating relationship challenges, home responsibilities, and the invisible mental load. This includes women experiencing imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the exhaustion of trying to excel in every role while feeling like you're failing at all of them.
Affairs and Infidelity
Kim works with women who have had an affair, are considering having one, or are currently in an affair—whether physical or emotional. This work explores what the affair might mean about your primary relationship, helps process the complexity of feelings involved, and supports you in understanding what you truly need and want for your future.
Kim's Therapeutic Approach
Kim combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for support and skills for the here-and-now with psychodynamic therapy for longer-term, deeper work. This framework addresses both current relationship challenges and the underlying emotional patterns that keep them in motion.
A significant focus of Kim's practice is individual therapy for couples issues—helping women work through relationship dynamics, improve communication, and make empowered decisions about their partnerships, even when a partner isn't willing or able to participate in therapy.
Kim's Therapeutic Style
Kim's approach goes beyond just being a good listener. Sessions are engaged conversations focused on helping you gain insight into your relationship patterns, better understand where they come from, and heal by creating healthier ones. She explores with you the possible connections between past experiences and present struggles, and helps you understand the "why" behind your feelings and behaviors.
This isn't about advice-giving or telling clients what they should or shouldn't do. It's a process of exploration, insight, and experimentation—trying new ways of thinking, communicating, and relating, then reflecting together on what works and what doesn't.
