(She/Her/Hers)
Pre-Licensed Professional
Nandita brings extensive life experience and thoughtful understanding of many identities, cultures and life roles.
Nandita Geerdink holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She believes that people start to heal when they feel truly seen and heard. Nandita engages clients in collaborative work to gain insight about their experiences to facilitate reflection and growth. Through self-awareness, we find self-compassion and more authentic, fulfilling ways of being. Centering the therapeutic relationship in her work, Nandita helps individuals who struggle, to find connection and those who are overwhelmed, with finding balance. Nandita works with clients to explore the relationship between our minds and bodies and how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are intertwined. With a clearer sense of self, we can find new ways of responding aligned with our inner compass. Nandita aims to help individuals understand why they feel stuck, challenge internal dialogues, and deepen interpersonal relationships. Nandita works with clients through issues around identity development, interpersonal communication, cross-cultural understanding, and life transitions. With empathy and compassion, she welcomes vulnerability and honesty at a pace that feels safe.
