Shindana Perryman-Ingle

-Offers online therapy in English and Spanglish
Hey, I’m Shindana, the therapist, and I want to recognize you for making the choice to seek out concrete support in times of need because this is a brave and powerful step in your journey to well-being. Too often, we put parts of ourselves away so that we can survive experiences in relationships, work or school, conflicts, life-stage transitions, and important decisions. Clients choose to work with me because they are seeking support from a person who makes them feel empowered enough to make contact with what’s keeping them stuck. So.. what’s keeping you from living your ideal life and facing challenges in a way that honors who you are and who you want to become?
As a therapist, I show up as a human being with a skillset, by mindfully bringing my whole Self into the therapeutic relationship for the benefit of the client. Growing up in North Central California during the onset of the War on drugs and AIDS epidemics, I understand firsthand the benefits that protective factors have in combatting the impact of adverse childhood experiences. My identities as a big-bodied, black, genderqueer, spouse, parent, and life-long learner have contributed to my ability to be in community and work with diverse populations with cultural humility. I am passionate about the therapeutic process being a space where folks can put into practice showing up unapologetically as their authentic Self.
Thank you for taking the time to read my bio and considering me as your therapist. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, the flash technique, restorative justice, motivational interviewing, nurturing parenting, and more. I invite you to contact me if you want to know about more my educational background, treatment modalities, and the populations that I have worked with to see if I am a good fit. Many blessings to you as you continue on this leg of your journey.
