LMHC, 7 years of experience
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 certified in EMDR, hypnotherapy, and trauma treatment. I am also experienced and certified in addictions treatment and operate from a harm reduction perspective. I am a DMHA certified provider.
In our first session, I will fostering a safe space for you to answer questions about your symptoms and your history. This is necessary to create a plan for you to reach your goals.
My biggest strength as a therapist is helping my clients see the beauty in themselves.

Shandi was warm and inviting from the first moment we spoke. It made me feel at ease and able to open up. Shes open minded and very humorous too which can really help depending on what you are talking about. Not to mention, she is super intelligent!! She is absolutely amazing and everything i could ever ask for in a therapist. Im so glad I found her!

Shandi Gerkin offers therapy covered by Managed Health Services (Managed Medicaid), Medicaid - Managed Health Services and UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Indiana.
I like to meet my clients where they are, listen to their goals, and understand how they want to move forward to achieve them.
I have been treating trauma and learning about trauma modalities throughout my career. I love helping others understand that they are hurt and need healing and that they are not broken.
