MaVie Behavioral Health
Counselor/Therapist, MD, PMHNP, PA-C, NP, LISAC, PRSS
Chronic Pain or Illness
At MaVie Behavioral Health, we understand the heavy physical and emotional toll of living with persistent pain or long-term health conditions. Managing chronic discomfort often leads to exhaustion, anxiety, and depression—and in many cases, self-managing pain with substances like opioids, Kratom, or 7-OH. Through 100% virtual care, our master’s-level counselors provide compassionate therapy to help you build practical coping strategies, process health-related stress, and reframe your relationship with discomfort. Working alongside our medical team's virtual MAT and non-controlled recovery support, we offer a safe, integrated space to help you improve your quality of life and regain daily balance from home.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You’ve been told it’s “just stress,” that “your labs look fine,” or that maybe it’s “all in your head.” But deep down, you know something’s not right. Living with chronic pain or illness—especially when it’s invisible to others—can feel both physically exhausting and emotionally isolating. Maybe you’re grieving the life you once had, constantly justifying your experience to people who don’t understand, or quietly wondering if you’re just supposed to push through. Dr. Jenny Shields offers something different: a space where you don’t have to prove your pain to be taken seriously.
With warmth, respect, and clinical expertise, Dr. Shields works with people navigating the complex realities of illness—whether you’ve recently received a diagnosis, are stuck in a cycle of uncertainty, or have been managing symptoms for years. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based tools, and trauma-informed care, she helps you move through grief, frustration, and fear with compassion. Together, you’ll explore how to live a meaningful life in a body that doesn’t always cooperate—on your own terms.
12 Years Experience
Online in Boise, ID
Boise is Idaho's capital and largest city, driven in large part by migration from California and other western states attracted by lower housing costs and an outdoor recreation lifestyle, and the rapid population influx has created both a growing demand for therapy and the particular mental health challenges of a community in rapid, sometimes disorienting, transformation. The city has historically had a limited private therapy infrastructure relative to its size, but that is changing quickly as the population grows and the community's demographics shift toward a younger and more professionally diverse resident base. Boise State University's counseling center serves the significant student population, and St. Luke's and Saint Alphonsus health systems provide behavioral health services. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, relocation and transition stress, relationship difficulties, and the identity questions that arise in a city figuring out what kind of place it wants to be as it grows rapidly.
