Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Being highly sensitive can feel overwhelming in a fast-paced world. You may absorb others’ emotions, overanalyze interactions, or feel easily overstimulated.

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.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, M.S.
We work with highly sensitive individuals who often feel emotionally overwhelmed, overstimulated, deeply affected by relationships, or exhausted from constantly absorbing the emotions of others. Therapy focuses on emotional regulation, boundaries, self-understanding, and embracing sensitivity as a strength rather than a flaw.

Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with many individuals who identify as highly sensitive or have been told they are “too sensitive” throughout their lives.
Often, this sensitivity is closely connected to heightened awareness, emotional depth, and a tendency to take on the feelings and needs of others. For many, it also overlaps with patterns of hypervigilance, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries.
Rather than viewing sensitivity as something to fix, our work focuses on understanding it, regulating the nervous system, and learning how to navigate relationships and environments in a way that feels more balanced and supportive.
This allows you to move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more grounded, aware, and in control of your responses.

Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
When you and your spouse walk into a room, do you each pick up on dramatically different amounts of information? If one of you is highly sensitive, it may feel like you're living in fundamentally different worlds. I help couples bridge that gap so these differences in perception become a strength, not something that makes you feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

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.

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.

If you’re struggling to navigate life as an HSP, I’d be honored to support you. My wish is that you’ll see you don’t have to toughen up or dull your emotions to fit in. You can build a life that works with your sensitivity rather than against it. And when you do, you’ll find that what once felt like a struggle is actually your greatest asset.

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.

The work is collaborative, paced carefully, and focused on building practical tools without minimizing emotional intensity.

Tampa is a rapidly growing city with a significant military presence at MacDill AFB, creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, deployment-related adjustment, and the challenges of veteran and military family life. The city's growth has brought a large influx of transplants from the Northeast and Midwest, and therapists frequently address the adjustment, social isolation, and identity shifts common among people rebuilding their lives in a new city. Tampa General Hospital and AdventHealth serve as major institutional mental health anchors, with a growing private practice community concentrated in South Tampa, Hyde Park, and the New Tampa corridor. Many Tampa therapists now offer telehealth, making it easier to serve clients spread across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.
