Aranya Edmonds
Pre-Licensed Professional, LAMFT / LAC
I support highly sensitive individuals who experience emotions deeply and may feel overwhelmed by stress, environments, or relationships. Sensitivity is a strength, but it can also create emotional exhaustion. Therapy helps you develop emotional regulation, boundaries, and self-understanding so you can function with greater balance and confidence.

Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PsyA
A highly sensitive person is a client who needs a special approach to feel accepted and understood. I will work patiently and caringly with these clients in a way that serves them best, which may mean working with a prescribing provider as well.

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.
