Hello, my name is Jackie Shropshire (she/her) and I am a license clinical social worker. Sometimes, life can become so hectic with work, relationships, family, and so on and so forth, that we often forget to check in with ourselves. I believe it is important to regularly check-in with yourself and want to support you with that check-in to take care of your emotional and mental well-being. I also believe in creating a safe space, so you can be your authentic self. I work in partnership with you and support you with self-determination, along with supporting you in achieving the goals that you want to work on. I want to support you in developing and implementing healthy coping mechanisms while exploring what has caused you to experience emotional distress.
About me, my professional post graduated working experience began in 2016. I hold a bachelor’s in social work from Cabrini University and a master’s in social work from Widener University. At Widener University I completed the Trauma Certificate program. My professional experiences include working with people with substance use disorders, mood disorders including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, relationship dynamics, insight to attachment styles, personality disorders. Treatment modalities include insight- orient therapy, cognitive and cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices. My therapeutic goals are support clients by as stated creating a safe environment to support them in understanding self and fostering self-compassion.
