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.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you turn down lights, pick clothes by how they feel, have trouble staying places with strong smells, or wish you could turn down the volume everywhere you go? Does it seem like you feel every emotion more quickly and intensely than others? Do you know what others around you are feeling before they even seem to know themselves? It is exhausting to feel like every sensation and every emotion is raw and open, and can make navigating relationships and boundaries challenging. With understanding and compassion we can work together to help you understand your sensitivity, manage overwhelm, and build confidence while honoring your unique strengths and needs.

LEGACY MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTING SERVICES
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Legacy Mental Health Consulting Services provides supportive, insight‑driven care for individuals who identify as Highly Sensitive Persons—those who experience emotions deeply, notice subtle details, and feel more affected by stress, conflict, or overstimulation. We understand that high sensitivity is not a flaw but a meaningful temperament trait that can bring creativity, empathy, intuition, and rich inner awareness. At the same time, it can lead to overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism, or difficulty setting boundaries. Using approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, DBT skills, and strengths‑based exploration, we help clients manage emotional intensity, reduce sensory overload, and build confidence in their unique way of experiencing the world. Our goal is to create a safe, affirming space where highly sensitive individuals can thrive, feel understood, and learn to use their sensitivity as a source of resilience and empowerment.
