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.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a highly sensitive person myself, I understand how sensitivity can feel both overwhelming and deeply valuable. I use IFS, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to help clients manage overstimulation and shame while highlighting the strengths of empathy and awareness. Narrative and existential therapies further support meaning-making. My diagnostic training ensures accurate distinction between sensitivity, trauma, and neurodivergence, while I also use a sensory diet approach to help with regulation and self care.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
A highly sensitive person has a sensory processing sensitivity trait that allows them to process physical, social, and emotional stimuli at a much deeper level than non-highly sensitive individuals. It is not a medical illness or disorder, and about 15-20% of people have this trait. HSP's are more susceptible to get drained quickly from busy schedules and overstimulation, be their own worst critic, and internalize negativity if they are unaware of how to protect their mental health, which can lead them to acquire any of a number of unhelpful issues. Rapid Transformational Therapy helps to provide relief from many of the issues that an HSP might be affected by, such as anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, depression, perfectionism, and poor stress-coping by implementing helpful suggestions directly to the subconscious of such things as: having powerful coping skills, suggestions of worth and value and purpose, empowerment beliefs, etc. Being an HSP myself, I have insight and experience as to what another highly sensitive person may need, and can provide ongoing support.
