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.

Highly Sensitive Person
Heather Curry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
People who identify as highly sensitive often notice and process more than others around them. You may pick up on subtle emotional shifts, feel overwhelmed in busy environments, or need more recovery time after social interactions. Over time, this sensitivity can start to feel like a flaw rather than a trait, especially if you’ve been told you are “too much,” “too emotional,” or “overthinking.”
In therapy, we don’t try to remove sensitivity. Instead, we help your nervous system feel less constantly overstimulated and develop boundaries that don’t require shutting yourself down. Sensitivity can become more manageable when your system no longer stays on alert and you no longer have to analyze everything to stay safe.
