Getting to know Mariah Shandri
Hi there, I'm Mariah!
Thank you for reaching out! My name is Mariah Shandri, BSW, MSW, LCSW, and Therapist. I earned my Bachelor's from Wartburg College and my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Northern Iowa. I have much respect and compassion for my clients, choosing to process present overwhelming thoughts, emotions, and reactions. My goal is to encourage you by focusing on your strengths to foster coping mechanisms.
My approach
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and addiction treatment. I am pursuing certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the most effective couples’ therapy backed by 20 years of research. There are simple, creative, and spiritually competent interventions tailored to any individual’s or couple’s life stage and values. As a therapist, I am grateful to come alongside people in their journey for change while applying interventions to support recovery, restoration, and healing, leading to a better life.
My focus
Currently connecting with children, adolescents, and adult individuals, couples, and families. I’ve gained experience providing therapy to those living with mental health stressors, substance abuse disorders, relational stressors, significant life changes, physical disabilities, and meeting everyone exactly where they are.
My communication style
My warm, attentive approach nurtures genuine support. I encourage mutual feedback, believing this keeps the therapeutic alliance honest and helpful. My hope is that every person I encounter experiences a caring, empathetic, non-judgmental spirit from me.
My journey to therapy
Growing up in Iowa, my parents were actively involved in our church and community, caring deeply for those around us. They served meals to the homeless, spent time with youth, and provided transportation to church and grocery stores for single mothers and individuals with disabilities.
