Jamie Shedrofsky (she/they) is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) and clinician based in Brooklyn. Jamie offers a holistic, strengths-based meeting of many modalities that center the individual and their intersecting identities, with a grounding in mindfulness, harm reduction and trauma-informed praxis. She meets her clients exactly where they are and believes that each client is the expert of their own experience and agent of their own growth. She also helps to equip her clients with coping skills needed to make the present moment more tolerable and to be active participants in their own healing process. Jamie pulls from psychodynamic theory, narrative therapy, somatic mindfulness-based therapy, and behavioral therapies like CBT, TF-CBT and ACT, to meet the unique needs of whomever is sitting across from her, in-person or virtually. Jamie helps her clients build a supportive therapeutic space through which to address life’s stressors and cultivate reflective insight and self-awareness to better emotionally regulate, be present and respond to conflict.
Jamie received her LMSW from NYU Silver School of Social Work and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Bucknell University with a degree in Classical Languages. While Jamie works with individuals of all ages, her expertise is in supporting adolescents and young adults. Jamie has offered harm reduction-focused therapy to adults experiencing homelessness and substance abuse as well as individual and group therapy to adolescents at Bard High School Early college, navigating the complexity of and mental health crises concurrent with returning to school amidst a pandemic. Jamie also leverages over 10 years of supporting learners of all ages as an academic tutor and executive functioning coach in the NYC area. Jamie specializes in mood and anxiety struggles, complex trauma histories, identity shifts and development, disordered eating and body image, substance use/abuse, self-harm and suicidality, supporting LGBTQAI+ adolescents and young adults, and those with neurodivergent minds (i.e., attention differences (ADHD) and individuals, particularly adolescents, on the spectrum (ASD). Jamie’s goal as a therapist is to offer a compassionate, collaborative and accessible space to help make talking about mental health feel welcoming and easy. She is especially passionate about destigmatizing mental health support and celebrating neurodivergent minds. In her spare time, Jamie is often reading, snowboarding or spending time with animals.
