Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist working with highly sensitive people.
If you are a highly sensitive person, you likely register more than the people around you: shifts in tone, undercurrents in a room, the emotional weather of everyone present. That perceptiveness is real and often valuable, and it also means overstimulation arrives sooner, recovery takes longer, and you may have spent years being told you are too much or too easily affected.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we do not treat your sensitivity as a defect requiring management. What interests me is the meaning it has taken on: what you learned to do with feeling deeply, whom you learned to feel it for, and how much of your attention is spent monitoring others. That arrangement carries an unconscious logic worth understanding. In sessions there is time to slow down enough to notice your own experience, not just everyone else's.
If being highly sensitive has felt more like a burden than a capacity, I would be glad to talk.

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.
