Shauna Scarano earned her Master of Art's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. She is a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California, Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC) in Colorado, and Veteran and Active Military Provider. Shauna has worked extensively with individuals, couples, and families of all ages, races, ethnicities, background experiences, and socioeconomic backgrounds, to work to achieve overall wellness goals. Shauna has provided individual, couples, and family therapy services and enjoys counseling all individuals. Shauna especially loves working with individuals who are considering engagement in therapy for the first time, are considering re-engagement in therapy, or who are working to understand their current levels of motivations, desires, and readiness for treatment. Through the process of therapy with Shauna, you can expect to identify, process, and reduce mental health, addictive, or other symptoms that may be impacting your athletic or other performance, physical functioning, mental functioning, emotional functioning, spiritual functioning, social functioning, and overall wellness. If you are a resident in the states of California or Colorado, and are interested in finding out more about or scheduling mental health or addictions or substance abuse treatment services, Shauna accepts private insurances and self-pay clients. The first session is the clinical intake assessment. Shauna schedules directly in her practice, through direct messaging communications only (text message, email, during appointments scheduling next appointments), and not through the Grow Therapy or Google Calendar despite the calendar showing availability. Please contact Shauna through text or email (Selfcenteredcounseling@gmail.com) to schedule your first appointment for the clinical intake assessment, or should you have any questions or concerns. You can also visit her Psychology Today profile through the link below, and can contact Shauna through the website by clicking "contact me."

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is the clinical intake assessment. I schedule directly through messaging only and not through the Grow Therapy/Google Calendar. Please contact me through text or email to schedule appointments.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with elite tactical athletes (military, police, fire, other first responders), collegiate athletes, other types of performers, (and humans, who all typically struggle with performance-based ways of thinking!), I've recognized how evidenced based therapeutic modalities can help an individual identify, process, and reduce mental health symptom intensity and increase overall functioning and wellness to achieve treatment goals.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

It humbles me to walk alongside someone who may be ready or is considering taking the next step or giant leap toward positive life change. I especially love to work with all types of individuals, of any age, who seek to strengthen their overall health and wellness, and enhance their athletic or other performance, while reducing intensity levels of mental health symptoms experienced.
