Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you’re outwardly successful but inwardly feel like you’re never quite good enough, it chips away at your ability to show up authentically in your life. Maybe you constantly doubt your own decisions, second-guess your value, or wrestle with the fear that others will see through your confidence to your insecurities beneath. Dr. Jenny Shields helps driven professionals rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self-worth through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and narrative approaches. Her highly individualized style supports you in untangling critical self-beliefs, reclaiming your strengths, and moving toward a genuine, resilient self-confidence—one that isn’t dependent on external validation or fleeting success.

Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
When your relationship with yourself is defined by self-doubt, people-pleasing, and a harsh inner critic, it affects every single corner of your life. Anne provides a warm, non-judgmental, and deeply collaborative space to help you dismantle those negative self-narratives and build authentic self-esteem. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she partners with individuals to help them break free from the cycle of insecurity, quiet the voice of perfectionism, and rediscover their inherent worth.
Anne’s integrative approach is uniquely designed to bypass the intellectual defense mechanisms that keep low self-esteem in place. By combining evidence-based psychotherapy with creative art therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), she offers a safe space to explore and externalize old beliefs about your value. Together, you will learn to treat yourself with genuine compassion, establish healthy boundaries, and step into your life with confidence—whether you are navigating a major life transition, professional burnout, a chronic illness diagnosis, or the profound identity shifts of parenthood.
