Shanna Austin

Clinical Mental Health Counselor – Intern

Shanna is a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern and graduate student at Capella University. Her therapeutic approach is person-centered, collaborative, and goal-oriented, drawing on principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to empower clients to observe their thoughts, identify values, and adjust behaviors to align with the meaningful life they want to create. Shanna has experience working with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and values creating evidence-based strategies to meet the unique needs of each client. While her background includes supporting children and families, she is excited to work with individuals across all populations.

Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, Shanna moved to Utah as a child and loved it so much that she decided to settle down here with her partner and their two cats. Shanna enjoys skiing in the mountains, playing board games with friends, and watching reality TV, especially Bravo shows. However, her true passion lies in creating a space for growth and healing, and in her commitment to continuously learning and enhancing her practice. Shanna is excited to bring her dedication and creativity to the clients at Dynamic Psychiatry.
