Jim Nagi, LCSW, LISW

Director & Therapist

With over 30 years post-masters Clinical and Administrative Social Work experience, Jim Nagi offers solution-based therapy to individuals, couples and families. Solution-focused therapy is a type of “talk therapy” that centers around identifying what a client wants to achieve rather than on the problem that prompted him or her to seek counseling. This proactive approach to clinical therapy helps clients move more quickly toward a solution. Mr. Nagi works with clients in the outpatient setting at Polk Wellness Center, but is also available for home-based therapy sessions especially for families. As Director, Mr. Nagi supervises all staff and works closely with the Clinical Director and Medical Director to develop services at Polk Wellness Center.
