Anne Shields, LCSW-R

Therapist for High Achievers, Parents, and Families Under Pressure

I work with high-functioning individuals, couples, and families navigating the quiet toll of stress, performance pressure, and emotional disconnection. My clients often appear composed while managing careers, caregiving, or complex family systems yet feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or unsupported.

With over 20 years of experience across schools, hospitals, and behavioral health settings, I’ve helped people move through anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, ASD, and addiction recovery. I support both individuals and systems: whether you’re a parent trying to hold everyone together, or a high-achiever struggling to connect, I offer a compassionate and structured space to build resilience from the inside out.

I use evidence based approaches like CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide our work, but I also bring a grounded, collaborative presence that meets you where you are. Together, we’ll clarify what’s working, shift what’s not, and create strategies to support your emotional well-being at home, at work, and within yourself.
