HSP
Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
People who experience emotions, relationships, sensory input, or interpersonal tension intensely are often told they are “too sensitive.” I offer a neurodiversity-affirming space to understand sensitivity without automatically pathologizing it, while developing boundaries, regulation strategies, and greater trust in your perceptions and needs.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with highly sensitive individuals who tend to feel things deeply, think deeply, and often become overwhelmed by the intensity of their internal and external experiences. Being highly sensitive is not a weakness—it’s a trait that, when understood, can become a strength. Together, we focus on helping you regulate overstimulation, set boundaries without guilt, and navigate relationships and environments in a way that feels more sustainable. My approach combines practical tools with mind-body awareness, supporting you in feeling more grounded, confident, and able to move through life without constant overwhelm.

Joel Schmidt
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” it might just mean you experience the world more deeply than most. I work with highly sensitive people to better understand their emotional responsiveness—not as a flaw, but as a trait that comes with both challenges and strengths. Together, we’ll explore how to manage overwhelm, set healthy boundaries, and navigate life in a way that honors your sensitivity rather than works against it.

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.
