Meet The Therapists

Shandi Garza, LMSW

Under the Supervision of Corrie Farrar, LISW-CP/S 

Shandi is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with over ten years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults and families. She believes therapy should be a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel seen, heard and understood.

Her approach is person-centered and strength-based, helping clients build insight, emotional regulation skills, and confidence while working toward meaningful, lasting change. Shandi works with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and emotional regulation difficulties. She tailors treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals.

Shandi uses a psychodynamic-informed, insight-oriented approach to help clients understand how early experiences and relationships continue to influence emotions, patterns, and responses in adulthood. Therapy focuses on increasing self-awareness while also developing practical tools to create healthier emotional and behavioral patterns in the present.

Shandi is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and integrate evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. She focuses on creating a supportive space where clients can safely explore their experiences while gaining skills they can use outside of session.

She also enjoys working with athletes and high-achieving individuals who struggle with performance anxiety, perfectionism, or self-criticism. Her goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident and capable of navigating life’s challenges.
