Practice Insights Blog

I’m Dr. Jenny Shields—psychologist, healthcare ethicist, and founder of a privacy-obsessed, insurance-free practice for surgeons, litigators, founders, and executives who refuse to trade their humanity for high performance. After a decade alongside Fortune 500 teams and pioneering surgeons, I’ve seen firsthand how brilliance and burnout share the same office.

In this space, we name the hidden strains—moral injury, chronic overwhelm, low-grade exhaustion—and roll up our sleeves to find evidence-based strategies that let you perform at your best without losing yourself.

What you’ll find here:

  • Protected respite: insights on confidential, diagnosis-optional care
  • Early moral-injury protocols: language, tools & strategic ethics support
  • Teletherapy deep-dives: PSYPACT best practices & interstate care
  • Straight-talk guides: burnout prevention, system-level change & self-advocacy
