Hi, I'm Jesslyn Shields, and I’m in the final year of the MSW program at the University of Georgia. I'm thrilled to be completing my clinical practicum at Revolution Yoga and Therapy!

Because I'm inexplicably now in my 40s, I've had the gift of exploring a wide variety of careers and passions. For nearly two decades, I've worked as a freelance writer and researcher, and I’ve devoted much of my professional life to nonprofit advocacy for clean water and wild places. I’ve served as the founder and director of a wilderness camp for teens, taught middle school science, and guided wilderness trips for almost thirty years.

In my work with clients, I focus on helping each person uncover their unique gifts and personal values, building skills to create more gratifying, authentic, and purposeful experiences and more fulfilling relationships. I believe therapy can help us forge lives that ensure our own liberation and well-being, as well as that of those around us.

Things I love: singing with my friends, wandering around outside with my dogs looking at stuff, making collages with old magazines, exercising in all weather, and chatting -- maybe even with you!
