Today we’d like to introduce you to Charity Hagains.
Hi Charity, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My path into therapy started early, thanks to an incredible therapist I worked with when I was younger. That experience stayed with me. I saw firsthand what it looks like when someone is truly attuned, steady, and willing to sit with hard things without trying to fix or rush them. It shaped not only my desire to become a therapist, but the kind of therapist I wanted to be.
I met my business partner, Angela, while working at another practice, and we quickly realized we shared the same vision. We wanted to build something different. Together, we opened Noyau Wellness Center in Dallas as a holistic, collaborative practice designed to support both clients and clinicians. Our goal was to create a calm, ethical, high-quality space where therapists could do good work without sacrificing themselves in the process.
Since then, Noyau has grown into a group practice, with offices in both Dallas and Fort Worth as well as telahealth., Our growth continued into a training and supervision hub, and a platform for continuing education and retreats. At this point in my career, everything I do, therapy, supervision, education, writing, is rooted in the same belief: when people are supported well, real change becomes possible.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
One of the biggest struggles was learning how to be both a clinician and a business owner at the same time. I was trained to sit with pain, not read profit and loss statements. Early on, I made decisions based on heart more than structure, which is compassionate but not always sustainable. I had to learn, sometimes the hard way, that a well-run business is actually part of ethical care, not separate from it.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Noyau Wellness Center ?
Noyau Wellness Center is a holistic, collaborative mental health practice with offices in both Dallas and Fort Worth, built around the belief that good therapy starts with well-supported therapists. From the beginning, our focus has been depth, integrity, and sustainability, not volume or hustle.
We provide individual therapy, supervision, and group work, and we specialize in trauma-informed care, attachment work, anxiety, identity exploration, and life transitions. We also train and mentor other clinicians through LPC supervision, continuing education programs, and professional development. Over time, that has expanded into retreats and experiential offerings designed to help people step out of survival mode and reconnect with themselves in a more intentional way.
What sets us apart is how intentional we are about the culture of care. We don’t operate from a burnout model. We prioritize collaboration, ethical decision-making, and nervous-system-aware work, both with clients and within our team. That means slower growth, thoughtful boundaries, and a lot of attention to how therapy actually feels in the room, not just how it looks on paper.
Brand-wise, what I’m most proud of is that Noyau feels calm, grounded, and honest. There’s no pressure to perform or fix. Clients often tell us the space itself feels regulating, and therapists tell us it’s the first place they’ve worked where they felt truly supported rather than managed. That matters to me more than scaling fast or chasing trends.
What I want readers to know is that Noyau isn’t just a therapy practice, it’s a values-driven ecosystem. Everything we offer, therapy, supervision, education, retreats, is rooted in the same core idea: when people are supported with care, clarity, and respect, real and lasting change becomes possible.
What matters most to you? Why?
What matters most to me is authenticity, grounded in radical acceptance. I believe real change only happens when people feel free to stop performing and start telling the truth about where they actually are.
In therapy, in leadership, and in life, I’ve seen how much energy gets wasted trying to be more palatable, more productive, or more “together” than we really are (it’s just exhausting and unnecessary). I believe that radical acceptance isn’t about giving up, but naming reality without judgment so something honest can grow from there. That principle shapes everything I do, from how I sit with clients to how I build systems for therapists.
I care deeply about creating spaces where people don’t have to earn their worth or prove they’re doing healing “right.” I feel like when we allow authenticity, people naturally soften, regulate, and make choices that are aligned instead of reactive.
