Shannon Minnehan, APRN, CRNA, PMHNP-BC

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, board-certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. I am also a Masters-prepared advanced practice nurse/nurse anesthetist. I spent much of my 30 year career working with children and families in a hospital setting. It is through this work that I found my dedication lies in supporting the emotional health of families and communities, preventing more complex issues later in life. Trauma comes in many forms, and it can be an enduring source of both psychological and physical stress for years, if left untreated. 

My psychiatric training is comprehensive and evidence based. I have worked with dedicated, talented practitioners in eating disorder treatment programs and in rural settings, a pediatric inpatient setting, and obtained psychotherapy training with the first LGBTQ+ community mental health care center in Minnesota. While I provide treatment for a wide range of mental health needs, my areas of specialty include eating disorders/body image issues, trauma based disorders, interventional psychiatry and LGBTQIA+ health. 

I am currently a family support group leader for the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), and am pursuing further training in ketamine assisted psychotherapy, EMDR and transgender health care.
