Josie Valderrama
Psychologist, PsyD
Too often we are gaslit by the outer world, told that we are too sensitive. When the opposite is more true: that we need to protect ourselves even more from the brutality of the world. Boundary work, intuition training, bolstering discernment via cognitive behavioral strategies--these are just a few of the approaches I utilize. Integrating head and heart. Challenging your comfort zone while strengthening your sense of safety, self-acceptance and peace of mind.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Working with a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) involves creating a calm, low-stimulation environment, embracing a slower processing pace, and validating their deep emotional experiences. Therapy helps them to reframe sensitivity as a strength, focus on boundary setting and nervous system regulation, and avoid rushing or overloading them with information. It is extremely important that HSPs learn to appreciate their Sensitive Strengths. Help them see the advantages of being Highly Sensitive and transform their perception of Sensitivity as a weakness. Self-compassion practices can help calm the inner critic and feelings of being different. Taking time to explore and reframe early life experiences through an HSP lens can be incredibly healing. Clients can begin to realize their challenges are not synonymous with their true self. Additionally, helping build awareness of body’s cues so the client can identify when they are beginning to feel overwhelmed - this makes it easier to reduce input, decrease stimulation and manage intense emotions.

Kim Salinger
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MBA, MSN, PMHNP, FNP, AHN
Highly sensitive individuals often experience the world more deeply, including heightened emotional awareness, sensory sensitivity, and strong responses to stress or overstimulation. I work with patients who identify as highly sensitive to better understand how sensitivity interacts with mood, anxiety, sleep, nervous system regulation, and overall health. Care is integrative and individualized, with attention to both psychological and medical factors, and focuses on guidance, education, and psychiatric support when appropriate to help patients feel more balanced, resilient, and supported.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
Being a highly sensitive person isn't a disorder or a curse - it's just who you are and how you are wired. I will help you explore both the pluses and minuses and help you acknowledge and enjoy the good, while perhaps better managing the downsides. Having good boundaries will be essential - for example, knowing where your limits are to avoid you getting excessively drained and knowing how to do good self-care. Whatever your goals are around being highly sensitive, I will work to help you figure out how to achieve them.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with remarkable depth while also becoming more vulnerable to emotional overwhelm. Therapy helps you understand your sensitivity, strengthen regulation, and transform sensitivity into one of your greatest strengths.
I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.
Sensitivity is not a weakness to overcome. When understood and supported, it can become a source of insight, creativity, compassion, and resilience. Together we'll help you thrive without feeling overwhelmed by the world around you.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
High sensitivity is a finely tuned way of taking in the world; it's not a flaw or weakness at all. Highly sensitive people experience emotions, relationships, and environments with unusual depth and intensity. In analytic work, we explore how this sensitivity has been shaped by early experiences and how it can become a source of strength rather than overwhelm, allowing for greater steadiness, meaning, and self-trust over time.

Alyssa Habschmidt
Therapist, AMFT
I know what it's like to feel things deeply, have a heightened awareness of others, and be tuned into details that others may miss. You may be empathetic, creative, and deeply thoughtful—yet often told you're "too sensitive" or "overthinking." Stress, noise, and fast-paced environments can feel overwhelming, especially when you don't feel fully understood. I specialize in supporting highly sensitive people in deepening insight, honoring their sensitivity, and creating meaningful, self-led lives.
