** NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME **

Deanna Austin, LMFT

My name is Deanna Austin, and I am deeply passionate about helping people heal and grow. I am the Founder and Clinical Director of Serenity Circle Counseling, as well as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and trained in EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

In my role as Clinical Director, my primary focus is supporting our clinicians and ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compassionate care across the agency. I am not currently accepting clients, as my work is dedicated to clinical oversight, staff support, and clinic leadership.

I am also an approved clinical supervisor for both the Minnesota Board of Marriage and Family Therapy (LMFT) and the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy (LPCC). I specialize in trauma resolution and remain committed to ensuring our team provides care that helps clients address the root causes of their challenges, not just the symptoms.
