Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I am well versed in treating highly sensitive people and am surrounded by them both personally and professionally. Whether it's having a heightened sensory experience of the world, or living with intense emotions, or both, I have a number of tools and approaches to work with you to set healthy boundaries for yourself, find your own sense of balance, and also learn to manage more sensory input over time if needed. I take a strengths-based approach here, respecting and celebrating your unique neurophysiology and helping you learn to work with what you've got in a way that is most conducive to feeling good in your life.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Highly sensitive people are at greater risk for overwhelm and burnout. You may feel shut down by stress and conflict, and you may become overstimulated by absorbing the emotions of people around you. I can help you build resilience by creating healthy boundaries and regulating your nervous system to maintain calm and take a break from overthinking. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old unhelpful patterns, and helping you to maintain a peaceful, happy life.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I offer therapy for highly sensitive people from a framework that honors sensitivity as a meaningful and adaptive way of experiencing the world. Our work may include understanding how heightened emotional, sensory, and relational awareness can be both a strength and a source of overwhelm, especially in busy environments. Together, we focus on building self-compassion for your superpower, strengthening boundaries to help your nervous system down regulate, and developing sustainable tools, such as pacing, to care for your nervous system. These techniques can help highly sensitive people live with greater ease and authenticity in their bodies, rather than feeling like their natural system is something that needs to be changed or fixed.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
Being a Highly Sensitive Person comes with great gifts as well as some unique challenges. Researchers estimate that 20-30% of people (and many animal species) are more sensitively-wired. In fact, it's estimated that over 40% of people who reach out for therapy are highly sensitive. I specialize in working with HSPs and have for a number of years. Learning about Dr. Elaine Aron's research around HSPs was transformative for me personally and professionally. I find that HSP clients as well as parents raising HSP kids benefit from HSP-knowledgeable and -supportive therapy, using a gentle approach that identifies and validates the gifts and provides strategies for navigating the tricky parts (prone to overstimulation in overwhelming environments, people-pleasing, perfectionism, boundaries, difficulty with conflict, among others). HSPs are deep feelers, deep processors, have immense empathy for others, and naturally notice all the details of people and the places they are in.

When You Feel Everything Deeply
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or that you “care too much,” you may be what’s known as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) — someone whose nervous system is more finely tuned to the world around them. I understand this on a personal level — I’m an HSP myself. Being highly sensitive is not a flaw; it’s a temperament trait shared by about 20% of people. It means your mind and body process information and emotion more deeply. You notice subtleties, feel others’ moods, and reflect deeply — yet that same sensitivity can make life feel overwhelming, especially when faced with stress, criticism, or conflict.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you embrace sensitivity as a strength while learning tools to manage its challenges. Together, we’ll focus on:
Calming the inner critic that tells you you’re “too much”
Reducing anxiety and emotional exhaustion from overstimulation
Setting healthy boundaries without guilt
Building confidence to share your true self with others
Developing emotional tools that turn sensitivity into insight and intuition
Our work will be both structured and gentle — blending neuroscience, mindfulness, and humor to help you feel grounded, capable, and at peace in your own skin.
I BELIEVE:
Sensitivity is not weakness — it’s awareness, empathy, and depth.
You can be both strong and soft, confident and cautious, independent and deeply connected.
Boundaries are not walls; they’re invitations to authentic connection.
You deserve a life that feels calm, balanced, and safe for your sensitive nervous system.
Healing doesn’t mean hardening — it means learning to stay open without being overwhelmed.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Have you often been told you are sensitive? Has life felt especially overwhelming these last few years? There is so much going on in the world in addition to the personal things we are dealing with day to day. Being highly sensitive may look like taking in the feelings of other people, thinking and processing deeply, and often feeling overwhelmed by these deep experiences. High sensitivity can often feel like a double edge sword of feeling both the immense beauty and pain of life. Learning more about your sensitivity and how to support your individual and relational needs may help. I'm here to support you as a fellow highly sensitive human.

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.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), you feel and process stimuli the world presents in a manner that touches you more deeply than most. Whether it be the overwhelm of bright and searing lights, the grating or startling sounds of bustling activity or loud noises in your purview, or knowledge of the suffering of other people, animals, or the natural world, HSPs experience almost everything more intensely and, as a result, can easily become exhausted by overstimulation. At the same time, HSPs have been given the gifts of attunement and heightened empathy. We can transform these sensitivities into strengths as we learn to embrace our uniqueness, understand how we might differ from others, determine realistic boundaries, and learn to proactively communicate our needs.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Support for highly sensitive, deeply feeling, intuitive, empathic, and sensory-aware individuals who experience the world with remarkable depth and intensity. Sensitivity is not viewed as a flaw or weakness, but as a meaningful way of perceiving, processing, and relating to the world.
Together, we explore the intersections of sensitivity, neurodivergence, nervous system regulation, trauma, creativity, spirituality, identity, and relationships. Our work may focus on sensory overwhelm, emotional intensity, boundaries, burnout, compassion fatigue, and unlearning messages that taught you your sensitivity was "too much." Instead, we cultivate ways of caring for your sensitivity as a source of insight, connection, wisdom, and strength.

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.
