Meet Jaimie
Professional
I'm Jaimie Sharpe and I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Idaho. I've been in the social work field since 2006, primarily working with people who experience complex trauma. I have specialized training and experience working with first responders, immigrants, and survivors of violence and abuse.
My therapeutic approach is informed by attachment theory, polyvagal theory, current neuroscience research, mindfulness- and somatic (body)-oriented theories, feminist theory, positive psychology, and systems theory, among others. Primarily in my practice I use EMDR and Neurofeedback to help release the grip of trauma. I'm also trained in the following:
- Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Compassion Focused Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV) training / HeartMath
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Person-Centered
- Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
- Somatic Therapy (integrated with EMDR)
My style has been described as down to earth, compassionate, and kind. I work together with my clients to develop a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan to reduce or resolve difficult symptoms and increase resilience and life satisfaction.
