About Shannon Kaster

There is no age limit when it comes to the transformative power of play!

Experience

  1. Mental Health Therapist

    Community Support Advocates

    Jun 2023 — Present · Des Moines, IA, US

    I serve adults and children as young as 4 years old for individual therapy. I also enjoy working with families, couples, and parent-child sessions to strengthen the attachment bond. My therapy techniques include mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to manage mental health symptoms. I am currently in training/supervision required for Play Therapy credentialing. I offer Client-Centered Play Therapy, Filial Therapy, and Sandtray to all my clients. There is no age limit when it comes to the transformative power of play!
