Shanna Scott

Shanna Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of professional experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, life changes, and concerns related to motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and personal growth.

Her career has included work across a range of correctional settings, where she has partnered with adult clients of many ages navigating complex challenges such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and addiction. Her background spans practical support like connecting clients to resources and addressing case management needs, as well as therapeutic work focused on strengthening coping skills and processing trauma to help clients move toward the lives they want. During six years with Jefferson Center for Mental Health on the Criminal Justice Team, she worked extensively with dual diagnoses and the layered dynamics that can come with co-occurring concerns.

Shanna views therapy as most helpful when it is a true collaboration. She emphasizes open, honest communication and a strong working relationship, meeting clients where they are and developing a treatment plan built around each person’s goals. She also holds a deep belief in each individual’s value and purpose, and aims to help clients reconnect with their worth and direction.

Her style is eclectic and tailored, drawing from Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused approaches. This flexibility allows her to adapt to each client’s needs while highlighting strengths and supporting steady, meaningful change.
