LCSW, 4 years of experience
Hi, I am Hollie Shigley, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I specialize in working with individuals of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, post-partum depression and anxiety, and life transitions. My mission is to help each client find healing, uncover their true identity, learn their strengths, and discover how to live the best life possible. I obtained my Master of Social Work from Boise State University, my Bachelor of Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University, and advanced training in perinatal mental health.
In our first session together, we will have a relaxed conversation where I get to know you and why you are seeking counseling. I will gather background information and work to understand your hopes and expectations. Then, working together, we will create goals and a tailored plan for our future sessions.
My clients would describe me as warm, genuine, encouraging, and authentic. Through active listening, I help clients with a solution-focused therapy approach focusing on their strengths and building up the tools in their tool belt.
If you are struggling with anxiety or depression but are motivated to seek help and healing then you have come to the right place! Anxiety and depression can feel overwhelming, but having a person and place to process, heal, and grow can be transformational in your journey. To the new moms: I have a heart for working with moms who are pregnant or have a new baby and are struggling to find a “new normal” amidst many changes. As a mom of three, I can say parenting is one of the hardest jobs and it can truly feel overwhelming at times. I have received advanced training in perinatal mental health from Postpartum Support International. I am here to come alongside you to help you find new rhythms, coping skills, and strategies in your parenting journey.
I use CBT to treat anxiety, depression, OCD, post-partum depression, and post-partum anxiety. CBT focuses on helping you reframe your thoughts and behavior to help you reach a healthier state.
I use this to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. Exposure Response Prevention is effective in breaking the obsessive thought cycle that comes with OCD.
If a client is seeking therapy from a Christian perspective, I incorporate a Christian worldview into the session and work with them to approach their healing from a biblical perspective and deepen their relationship with the Lord.
Mindfulness helps clients be present in the moment, recognize their thoughts, and reframe/adjust their response.
