At Trinity Health Group, we love celebrating our team members who make a difference. This month, we highlight Shandi Lindsay, LPCA, a school therapist devoted to supporting students.
A Commitment to Helping Students
Shandi knew she wanted to be a therapist since high school. She remembers how tough school can be and wanted to be someone kids and teens could talk to. “I knew even then that I wanted to help students navigate the problems they face,” she shares.
Today, she provides a safe space for students, helping them build emotional strength and coping skills.
The Joy of Working with Students
One of the best parts of Shandi’s job is working with different personalities. “I have such bright and creative students. They make me proud every day,” she says.
She loves seeing her students grow, develop confidence, and overcome challenges.
Helping Students Through Challenges
Many students struggle with school, home, and social stress. Shandi helps them find healthy ways to manage their emotions. “They often don’t have the time or space to process their feelings in a healthy way,” she explains.
To support them fully, Shandi works closely with teachers, parents, and school staff. She meets with faculty weekly and stays in touch with parents to provide updates and support.
Shandi’s supervisor at Trinity Health Group, Tonya Lunsford, shares, “Shandi is a wonderful therapist who works with students in schools, effortlessly building strong rapport with the kids she treats through her compassionate and insightful approach.”
Advice for Parents & Self-Care
Shandi encourages parents to talk to their kids about mental health. “If you’re concerned, ask your child about therapy. It can be a great extra support for them,” she advises. Open conversations can help kids feel safe and understood.
To stay balanced, Shandi practices self-care through hobbies like reading, painting, and spending time with loved ones.
