Introduction

Hi, I’m Sashauna Gardner, founder and lead therapist at Destined for Healing. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with nearly a decade of experience walking alongside individuals and couples as they navigate the complexities of life, relationships, trauma, and healing. I created this practice as a sacred space where your story is honored and your healing is taken seriously. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in evidence-based care. I specialize in helping clients move through anxiety, depression, emotional wounds, faith-related concerns, and relational struggles with compassion and clarity. While I welcome clients from all walks of life, I also offer Christian-integrated therapy for those who want to incorporate their faith into the therapeutic process. There’s never any pressure, just an open invitation to bring your whole self into the room. Healing doesn’t have to be lonely. Whether you’re rebuilding your identity, grieving a loss, or seeking peace in the chaos, I’m here to walk with you. This is your time, your space, and your journey and it would be my honor to support you in it.
