Jamie Shedrofsky, LMSW

Jamie (they/she) 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.  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 them, in-person or virtually.

Jamie meets their clients exactly where they are and believes that each client is the expert of their own experience and agent of their own growth.  Jamie helps to equip their clients with coping skills needed to make the present moment more tolerable and to be active participants in their own healing process.  Jamie helps their 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’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.  They are especially passionate about destigmatizing mental health support and celebrating neurodivergent minds.  

While Jamie works with individuals of all ages, their expertise is in supporting adolescents, young adults and 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 received their LMSW from NYU Silver School of Social Work and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Bucknell University with a degree in Classical Languages.  In their spare time, Jamie is often reading, snowboarding or spending time with animals.
