I am board certified as both a psychiatric nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner. My focus is to improve the mental health status of the individual, family and community through emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention, by focusing on self-responsibility, education and treatment. I am a graduate of Michigan State University, Rush University in Chicago and Oakland University in Rochester, MI. I am an experienced nurse practitioner having a passion for working with children, adolescents and young adults. I have been a family nurse practitioner for 22 years and psychiatric provider for 14 years. I have been a clinical professor at the University of Michigan-Flint for the past 10 years. Prior to joining the Lifestance team, I managed a 26-bed adolescent unit at Cedar Creek Hospital.

I live with my husband in Owosso Michigan, where we own and operate a farm, raising, wheat, corn and soybeans. I understand the needs and limitations of the rural community.

I enjoy talking to my clients about their goals and aspirations. I engage individuals in conversation expressing their needs and concerns. I encourage individuals to express themselves and eliminate self-doubt. My goal is to make a difference in the lives of others.

See what our patients are saying about Gerri Hagadon-Szakal

Best place for Medication and Medication Management, Diagnosis, and counseling. My Nurse Practioner Gerri takes her time with me to explain my diagnosis and how to take my meds, how the meds work, any side effects and her plan for me as well as reminding me of things I can work on or strategies to try before our next appointment session. The woman who answered my initial phone call months ago was so kind, patient and reassuring. I wasn't sure if I could do Telehealth appointments again after several years of failed attempts and frustration. The receptionist who did my phone intake and insurance information assured me if I had any difficulty at all to call her at the same number and they would walk me through it step by step. It was very reassuring and I felt hopeful I could figure it out on my own instead of my husband having to take time off from his work. I would recommend this place 100% to anyone, but especially those who have had a bad experience with Telehealth since COVID-19.

Dr. Gerri Hagadon-Szakal has been very attentive to my concerns, including solution ideas. The process of zoom appointments has been easy and accommodating. I had my first in house visit recently. It was very easy to get an appointment that fit in my schedule. The check-in and checkout process was very easy and quick. Dr. Gerri was just as concerned and attentive as in the Zoom appointments. She is very easy to talk to with a relaxing atmosphere, similar to talking with a longtime friend. Highly recommended.

Without the resources and support of this organization and its caring individuals i have met i would not be here today. They have taught me so much about myself and everything I was missing out on in life. I am starting to smile again, sleep is improving, the nightmares are ceasing. They care and I am proud of myself for making LifeStance a part of my life. They are a very reliable mental health care facility. The Video calls are very beneficial too for appointments.
