Empowering You to Achieve Happiness
Individual Counseling
Our individual counseling services offer a safe and compassionate space for you to work through life’s challenges, heal emotional wounds, and reconnect with your authentic self. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or past trauma, our licensed therapists walk alongside you with empathy, insight, and practical support.
We believe that healing begins when you feel seen and heard, without pressure, judgment, or shame. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns at a pace that honors your story. For those who desire it, we also welcome faith-informed conversations as part of the journey.
This is your space to grow, release, rebuild, and rediscover the wholeness that has always been within you.
Christian Counseling
Our Christian counseling services integrate clinical wisdom with biblical truth for those who desire to invite faith into their healing journey. Whether you're seeking clarity in your identity, peace through life transitions, or emotional healing rooted in your relationship with God, we provide a safe space to explore both your mental health and your spiritual walk.
We honor the uniqueness of each person's relationship with God and meet you where you are without pressure or judgment. Through prayerful support and evidence-based therapy, our goal is to help you align your healing with your faith and rediscover hope, purpose, and wholeness.
Our Mission to Heal
About Me – Sashauna "Darlene" Gardner, LCSW-C, LICSW
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.
