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.

Dr. Janelle Louis

If you're a person who experiences the world deeply and intensely, I am here to support you. In our work together, I’ll help you learn tools for emotional regulation, overstimulation, boundaries, and self-care. As a highly sensitive person, you can become pivot so that this becomes a strength rather than a source of overwhelm.

Highly Sensitive Person
Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
When working with highly sensitive persons (HSPs), I focus on supporting those who experience the world with heightened emotional depth, empathy, and sensory awareness. This specialty helps you better understand your sensitivity as a natural trait rather than a weakness, while learning skills to manage overstimulation, emotional overwhelm, and boundary-setting challenges. Through supportive and strengths-based approaches, counseling empowers you to regulate your nervous systems, build resilience, and embrace your sensitivity as a meaningful and valuable part of who you are.
18 Years Experience
Online in Tucson, AZ Arizona
Tucson's large Hispanic population — spanning both sides of the US-Mexico border — and its position as a university city anchored by the University of Arizona together define the city's therapy landscape. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists are in consistent demand, and therapists experienced with border-crossing trauma, immigration stress, and bicultural identity serve an important clinical role. The city's proximity to the Tohono O'odham Nation and other tribal communities creates demand for therapists trained in Indigenous trauma, historical loss, and culturally grounded care. Banner — University Medical Center Tucson provides institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community serving the Foothills, midtown, and the university corridor.
