Hello! I am Shandi. I help individuals who feel broken or lost see their own potential through purposeful self-care. Many of us are simply hurt and need healed.

I am also experienced and certified in addiction treatment and operate from a harm reduction perspective. Additionally, I am a DMHA certified provider.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Talking to shandi does not feel like a standard therapy appointment. It feels like I’m talking to a friend who is very experienced in explaining how your brain and nervous system works, and helping you through navigating those emotions and responses. She has made me understand myself more than any self help or therapy I have tried before. My all time favorite thing she does is constantly remind me I am not my diagnosis, my diagnosis is a part of my life that I co exist with.

So excited to continue treatment. I learned so much from just the first session and am so ready to book another appointment. She is so warm and easy to talk to and I have never felt less judged in my whole life. Really excited to start this journey.

Shandi is perceptive, intelligent, and kind. She comes off as accepting of you, while also shifting the perspective to challenge your belief of self. She gleaned a ton of information about my motivations, needs, and struggles from just one meeting. I hope this review is helpful to others needing a therapist.

Shandi is amazing! She helps me realize so many things and helps me decided how to correct my wrongs and how to empower my strengths. She is kind, understanding and knowledgeable about so some. I would not be in my growth or healing as mush as I am now without her. I would check so many more options of her therapy style if I could but it only allows me to select 2.
