Ann Abbey
Limited License Psychologist, MA, LLP, RYT
Highly sensitive people often experience the world more intensely: emotionally, physically and relationally. I help HSPs understand their wiring, reduce overwhelm, navigate stress and embrace their sensitivity as a strength rather than a burden. Together we work on emotional regulation, boundary-setting and creating a life that honors your sensory and emotional needs. My approach is gentle, validating and tailored to the unique experiences of highly sensitive adults.

Smee Wellness LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, LCMHC
If you've been told you're "too much" or "too sensitive," your sensitivity is actually a strength that the world hasn't always known how to hold. We work on honoring your depth of feeling while building boundaries and coping tools that help you thrive instead of burn out.

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.
