Jacqueline Shields

Jacqueline Shields is a compassionate clinical social worker and therapist, dedicated to guiding individuals through their challenges. She understands that people often seek therapy when previous coping mechanisms are no longer effective, and that unhealthy thoughts and beliefs can hinder progress. Jacqueline specializes in helping clients unravel these thoughts, reconnect with their inner strength, and reclaim their lives on their own terms. She is acutely aware of the burdens of depression, anxiety, and trauma, and recognizes how these issues can impact various aspects of life, including work performance, relationships, sleep, and overall health. Committed to fostering a safe space for healing, she is certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, trained through a collaboration with Duke University. This evidenced-based approach is particularly effective for those dealing with PTSD, but also supports others seeking transformation toward healing, resilience, strength, and wholeness. Additionally, Jacqueline is fluent in Spanish, enriching her ability to connect and support a diverse clientele.
