Shannon Cayer, PsyD, Training Director, has been working at Wasatch Behavioral Health since she was a Health Service Psychology Intern in 2018. Now licensed, Dr. Cayer serves as the Health Service Psychology Internship Program Training Director and does psychodiagnostic and neurocognitive evaluations with adolescents and adults in PAS. Dr. Cayer loves doing psychotherapy and her clinical interests include traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and burnout, LGBTQ+ and related topics, relational distress, and self-esteem/self-image issues. As she was trained at an integrated medical school, Dr. Cayer prioritizes integrating all aspects of health into treatment. She also does psychotherapy at a private practice in Mapleton, UT on a part-time basis.
Dr. Cayer grew up in New Hampshire and then completed her undergraduate and graduate education in Arizona where she fell in love the desert (not so much the 120 degree heat though!). Utah has given her a wonderful balance of the New England and Arizona climates, and she plans to stick around for quite some time. She and her partner enjoy road trips, weekend getaways into the mountains, and exercising their corgi-border collie, Tiny, who requires a lot of attention.
