The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP): Navigating a High-Definition World
From Sensory Overwhelm to Strategic Depth
About 20% of the population is born with a nervous system that processes information more deeply than others. While the world often labels this as being "too sensitive," in my practice, we recognize this as Sensory Processing Sensitivity—a trait that brings incredible empathy, creativity, and intuition, but also a higher risk for burnout and overwhelm.
The Challenges of the "Deep Processor"
Living as an HSP in a neurotypical, fast-paced society can feel like your "volume" is permanently turned up. We work together to navigate:
Emotional Overwhelm: Learning to distinguish between your own emotions and the "emotional residue" you pick up from others in the room.
Sensory Meltdowns & Shut Downs: Identifying the environmental triggers—loud noises, bright lights, or chaotic social systems—that lead to systemic exhaustion.
Rejection Sensitivity: Addressing the deep, often painful way that HSPs process social cues and perceived criticism.
The HSP Professional: Healers, Pastors, and Creatives
I have a "special love" for working with highly sensitive healers. Your sensitivity is likely what makes you an incredible therapist, pastor, or leader, but it is also what makes you susceptible to secondary trauma. We use a Systems Theory approach to:
Architect Your Environment: Creating "sensory-safe" professional and personal spaces that allow your nervous system to rest.
Attachment & Boundaries: Moving away from the "people-pleasing" often used as a safety strategy, toward a grounded, authentic way of relating to others.
EMDR for Overstimulation: Using EMDR to process past moments of "sensory trauma" or times when you were shamed for your sensitivity.
Honoring Your High-Definition Lens
With over 20 years of experience, I am here to help you stop apologizing for your depth and start honoring it. You don't need to "toughen up"; you need to develop the strategies that allow your sensitive system to flourish.
Your sensitivity is not a flaw in the system—it is a different, more intricate way of being human.

Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Being a highly sensitive person in a world that moves too fast, feels too loud, and rarely slows down enough to match your depth is exhausting. What looks like anxiety or overwhelm from the outside is often just a nervous system that picks up on everything, and hasn't been given the right tools to process it all. I'm Sarah, and I love working with HSPs who are ready to stop pathologizing their sensitivity and start understanding it as the gift and the challenge it actually is. My approach is somatic and nervous-system informed, which tends to be a really natural fit for highly sensitive people. I also find that many of my HSP clients are also neurodivergent, queer, or both, and I'm well-versed in how those identities layer together. Telehealth in WA, ID, and FL.

Samantha Tomer, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC, NCC
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” you may know both the beauty and the challenge of moving through the world with heightened awareness. Being highly sensitive can mean feeling deeply, noticing details others miss, and becoming easily overwhelmed by stress or stimulation. In our work together, we focus on embracing sensitivity as a strength while developing tools to protect your energy and maintain balance. My goal is to help you honor this part of yourself while living with more ease and confidence.

Peter C. Jackson, PsyD

While this brings rich insights and creativity, it can also lead to feeling drained, anxious, or overstimulated. I provide a supportive environment where we celebrate your unique nervous system and explore how to optimize your well-being. Our work focuses on building emotional resilience, creating nurturing practices, and developing personalized tools to navigate life's intensity, empowering you to thrive in your authenticity.

Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Highly sensitive people have special superpowers for feeling and perceiving. In my experience, HSPs are often not taught how to work with their sensitivity effectively and so it can feel confusing and overwhelming. HSPs also often grow up in environments where they are told that they are too sensitive so there can be shame around feeling so much. I help HSPs know how to work with their gifts and we work to release any shame and negative association with being sensitive.

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.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From one highly sensitive person to another, it can be a crazy world out there. Two things that I've found helpful:
1st, resiliency training: Although our bodies can react to things that other people might brush off, Somatic Experiencing can help build up our ability to settle our stress and activation levels. That party might still be uncomfortably loud, but it's more tolerable when you have confidence that you can quickly find comfort again once you leave.
2nd: Boundary training and asking for what you want: As we get better at knowing what would help us feel more comfortable, and better at asking for it, we can start to re-shape our environment to feel better. Then as we feel better, and as our loved ones know how to help us, we are more resourceful, more able to connect with others, and more able to be the people we want to be in the world.

Joel Schmidt
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” it might just mean you experience the world more deeply than most. I work with highly sensitive people to better understand their emotional responsiveness—not as a flaw, but as a trait that comes with both challenges and strengths. Together, we’ll explore how to manage overwhelm, set healthy boundaries, and navigate life in a way that honors your sensitivity rather than works against it.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be particularly beneficial for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) by helping them manage overwhelming emotions and sensory experiences. Through deep relaxation and guided visualization, hypnotherapists can assist HSPs in developing coping strategies for stressful situations and reducing anxiety. This therapeutic approach empowers individuals to reframe negative thought patterns, enhance emotional resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of self-acceptance, making daily life more manageable for those who feel acutely affected by their environment.
