Highly Sensitive Person
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You notice everything. The way someone’s tone doesn’t match their words. The shift in a room when tension walks in. The beauty in small, fleeting things most people rush past. You feel deeply, love fiercely, and carry more than anyone realizes—because from the outside, you probably seem composed, capable, even unshakeable.
But inside? It’s a different story. Loud noises feel like an ambush. Crowded schedules leave you overstimulated and drained. Criticism—especially from yourself—lingers far longer than you’d like. Maybe you’ve spent years wondering why things seem to hit you harder, why you can’t just “let it go,” or why rest never feels like enough.
Dr. Jenny Shields sees you. She understands what it’s like to live in a world that’s too fast, too harsh, too loud—and to feel like you’re too much for it. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and compassion-based work, she helps sensitive souls turn down the inner noise, set boundaries that protect their peace, and reclaim their sensitivity as the strength it truly is. You don’t need to toughen up. You need space to be exactly who you are—and to learn how to thrive because of your sensitivity, not in spite of it.

Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with remarkable depth, empathy, and awareness—but that depth can also feel overwhelming. I work with highly sensitive clients to better understand and embrace their sensitivity as a strength, while building skills to manage overstimulation, emotional intensity, and boundary challenges. Together, we explore patterns such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, or difficulty saying no, and develop practical tools for nervous system regulation and emotional balance. Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients reframe self-criticism, strengthen boundaries, and cultivate self-trust. We also focus on honoring your needs for rest, reflection, and meaningful connection. My approach is warm, validating, and collaborative. Rather than trying to “toughen up” or change who you are, our work centers on helping you thrive as a highly sensitive person—grounded, confident, and empowered in your relationships and daily life.

Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
I know the struggle for HSP. A significant portion of the folks I currently work with identify as HSP or have sensory sensitivity issues. I try to make my office as welcoming and comfortable for HSPs (no strong smells or fluorescent lights, for example), and am open to making accommodations if necessary in our work. I also use the Job Accommodation Network to assist in any accommodations needed for school, university, or work.

Denise Bike
Psychologist, PhD
Empathy and intuition are your superpowers… but can leave you overstimulated, anxious, and depleted. Underneath all the adapting, managing, and achieving, your nervous system craves stillness. With Dr. Bike, you can design an in-depth intensive focused on learning to let your sensitivity guide you, not exhaust you.

Highly Sensitive Person
Jocelyn Jarman
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
If you've spent your life being told you're too sensitive, too emotional, too intense, or that you just need to toughen up — this is a space where that story gets rewritten. Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is not a weakness, a disorder, or something to be managed away. It is a genuine neurological trait, present in roughly 15 to 20 percent of the population, that means your nervous system processes the world more deeply than most — taking in more, feeling more, and noticing details that others simply walk past. That depth is also the source of some of your greatest gifts: your empathy, your creativity, your conscientiousness, your ability to connect. But without the right support and understanding, sensitivity can also leave you chronically overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, prone to anxiety, and quietly convinced that something is fundamentally wrong with you. At Deserts Bloom Therapy, working with highly sensitive individuals is something Jocelyn approaches with both professional knowledge and genuine appreciation for the HSP experience. Together, the work focuses on helping you understand your nervous system, establish boundaries that actually protect your energy, process the emotional backlog that sensitivity can accumulate over a lifetime, and most importantly — learn to see your sensitivity not as a burden to manage, but as a profound and beautiful part of who you are. You were never too much. You were simply in the wrong spaces. This one was made for you.
