Deanna Austin, LMFT

My name is Deanna Austin, and I am deeply passionate about helping people heal and grow. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, certified in EMDR, and trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I specialize in trauma resolution—supporting individuals in uncovering and addressing the root causes of their challenges, not just the symptoms. As the Executive Director and Owner of Serenity Circle Counseling, I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where healing can truly begin.
