About Jessica

Who I am

I'm Jessica Ganey, formerly Seebeck β€” a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, school counselor, 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, and group facilitator devoted to helping others feel less alone and a little bit more loved in this lifetime.

With roots in traditional mental health care and training in yoga, mindfulness, and nervous system healing, my approach is integrative, relational, and trauma-informed. I am a trained facilitator of the Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method and a Teacher Assistant within the Institute, and I am also trained in EMDR, one of my favorite modalities for working through trauma, hurt, loss, and pain.

About my Path

For over a decade, I have worked across a wide range of settings, including community mental health, residential and outpatient eating disorder care, nonprofit work, and both elementary and high school environments.

I opened my private practice in July 2019, beginning with just a few clients and growing from there. That work has continually shaped my understanding of relational trauma, attachment wounds, and what it means to feel safe in your own body.

Some of the work I am most proud of happened in educational spaces. At an all-girls high school, I designed and led a yearlong ninth-grade Mind-Body Wellness class, weaving together somatic tools, emotional literacy, and self-reflection. I have facilitated workshops using the One Love Curriculum on healthy and unhealthy relationships and developed programs on stress management, test anxiety, and emotional regulation for young people.

My yoga teaching has grown alongside my clinical work. What began as Yoga for Emotional Health evolved into trauma-informed offerings at Sundara Wellness, college-centered classes at the University of Memphis, restorative practices for children in afterschool programs, and most recently Yoga Nidra classes open to the wider community. I am actively seeking new teaching opportunities and would love to bring these offerings into new spaces.

As part of my work with the Trauma-Conscious Yoga Institute, I offer coaching calls and consultations for students and trainees of the Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method, and I facilitate community classes.

Where I Am now

Today I continue to see individual therapy clients on a limited basis, working with female-identifying individuals in my private practice. I also work as an elementary school counselor, which keeps me connected to early intervention and the importance of building emotional safety from a young age.

My love for this field takes many forms, and I feel genuinely grateful to show up in different rooms, with different people, doing work that all points toward the same thing: helping people feel more at home in themselves.

πŸ’› Guiding Beliefs

I believe healing is layered and embodied.
I believe we aren’t meant to do it alone.
I believe our bodies hold both our wounds and our wisdom.
