Jessica Shiveley, MSW, LCSW

I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is dedicated to helping youth and adults in their journey through life, providing them with empowerment to reclaim the positive within their lives. Helping them to enrich and transform their life, while finding their true life purpose and developing self-appreciation and love.

Hi there, my name is Jess. Thank you for stopping by my page. Since I was little, I knew my calling was to teach and heal. Having dealt with my own trauma and trials, I felt even more called to help others. I enter my practice having gone through my own healing, and finding this has helped me to connect on a deeper level with my clients. I can bring my years of professional experience, blended with my own experiences and healing, to create an experience that is unique and comforting to those I have been honored to counsel and support.

Education:
I completed my BSW (Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work) at Nebraska Wesleyan University, followed by my MSW (Master’s Degree in Social Work) at the University of Nebraska-Omaha (UNO). I also completed a Health and Wellness Coaching Certificate at Front Range Community College and am a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach.

Experience:
I have had experience in a wide range of behavioral health settings, including in-home behavioral services, inpatient psychiatric Care, Medical Social Work, District-Wide School Social Worker, Elementary School Counselor, College Professor, Group and Individual Therapy, as well as various Public Speaking events throughout the United States.

I’ve worked directly as an individual and couples therapist for over 7 years, working with a variety of backgrounds and issues. Throughout this time, I have gained even further insight into the human experience, and dove deeper into my own journey, diving further into finding my true authentic self & purpose, which also required my own true self-love journey. Through this professional and personal experience, I felt called to create my own practice HEARTFELT HOLISTIC HEALTH that encompassed a new approach, one that goes further than the symptom or what we can see, and dives deeper, into the ‘root’ of what is going on, thus the journey of one’s true healing.

Philosophy:

At Heartfelt Holistic Healing, I believe that true healing involves more than just treating symptoms; it requires a holistic approach that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. I emphasize the importance of mindfulness, being present in the moment, and being in touch with oneself to promote self-awareness and self-love. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that when we learn to accept ourselves for who we are, we can begin to let go of negative self-talk and beliefs that may be holding us back. I believe that breathwork is essential to the healing process, as it helps us connect with our bodies and release tension and stress. Finally, I recognize that true healing requires dedication and commitment to the process, and I work with each one of my clients to create a personalized plan that supports their goals and needs. I find the journey to self-discovery and self-love to be the most important, yet hardest journey one will go on.
I firmly believe we all have potential and value. Furthermore, I believe that the self is the true healer and that I am only a guide along the way. We all have the power to heal within ourselves, we need to tap into that energy and reconnect. Reconnect with ourselves, with the healing power of nature, and with those around us (family, friends, etc.).
