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.

Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC, AADC
If you've been told that you're "too sensitive", you may be an HSP! Being sensitive is an enormous strength, but it can also bring with it unique challenges. We will allow you to embrace this "super power" while also learning how to take care of yourself.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you are highly sensitive, you may feel things deeply and get overwhelmed more easily by conflict, noise, or constant demands. We can treat sensitivity as a temperament, not a flaw, and work on practical ways to manage overstimulation. This often includes boundaries, nervous system regulation, and improving how you navigate relationships and stress so you can feel steadier without having to shut down who you are.

Christopher McDowell, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I often treat highly sensitive individuals. This treatment process includes learning how to manage these daily feelings, but also learning about how high sensitivity can be utilized as a positive tool in daily life.
