Gershom Shahid is a graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh, enrolled in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. They have experience working with children and teenagers at an academic Summer. and with elderly adults as a former nursing assistant. Moreover, they have also worked in a pharmacy, which allowed them to gain a deeper understanding of medicine related to mental health.

Gershom is starting their practicum at Calm Pittsburgh, to develop their skills in CBT, while learning more about depression/anxiety. He is interested in working with LGBTQ+ folks, and with people of color. He is intimately familiar with the growing needs of mental health within his own community, whether that is through his identity, and/or cultural background. With that being said, Gershom is more than happy to work with anyone.

Gershom hopes to grow with the Calm Pittsburgh community to be an effective therapist in the future, and to create an environment where each person feels safe and respected. Gershom wants to help as many people as they can.
