Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who feel and notice a lot. You might be deeply affected by others’ moods, small changes in tone, or the energy of a room. Loud noises, bright lights, busy schedules, or conflict may feel more overwhelming to you than to those around you. Many highly sensitive people grow up feeling “too much” or “too sensitive.”
As adults, this can look like needing more time to recover from social interactions or workdays; feeling easily overstimulated, wired, or shut down; taking on others’ feelings and struggling to find your own center; and being very conscientious, but also prone to burnout or self‑criticism.
Highly sensitive children and teens are often described as intense, dramatic, shy, or “overreactive.” They may have big feelings, strong empathy, vivid inner worlds, or a very thoughtful, observant way of moving through life. In environments that do not understand them, they can become anxious, withdrawn, perfectionistic, or reactive.
In our work together, we explore how your sensitivity shows up in your nervous system, relationships, and daily life. We look at what overwhelms you and what nourishes you so that sensitivity can become less of a constant struggle and more of a source of information, depth, and connection. When I work with children and teens, I also support parents in understanding their child’s sensitivity and responding in ways that feel more workable for everyone. Working with highly sensitive people is central to my practice, and I understand how much strength it takes to move through the world this way.

Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
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.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you turn down lights, pick clothes by how they feel, have trouble staying places with strong smells, or wish you could turn down the volume everywhere you go? Does it seem like you feel every emotion more quickly and intensely than others? Do you know what others around you are feeling before they even seem to know themselves? It is exhausting to feel like every sensation and every emotion is raw and open, and can make navigating relationships and boundaries challenging. With understanding and compassion we can work together to help you understand your sensitivity, manage overwhelm, and build confidence while honoring your unique strengths and needs.

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.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a highly sensitive person myself, I understand how sensitivity can feel both overwhelming and deeply valuable. I use IFS, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to help clients manage overstimulation and shame while highlighting the strengths of empathy and awareness. Narrative and existential therapies further support meaning-making. My diagnostic training ensures accurate distinction between sensitivity, trauma, and neurodivergence, while I also use a sensory diet approach to help with regulation and self care.

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.

I am here to work with you to better understand how HSP informs how you navigate the world, how to come up with tools and skills to navigate HSP, and how it impacts your relationships, career, and functioning.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) from a strengths-based, nervous system–informed perspective. High sensitivity is not a flaw or diagnosis—it reflects a deep capacity for awareness, empathy, and emotional processing. In a world that often rewards speed, productivity, and emotional numbing, HSPs can feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or chronically depleted.
In therapy, we focus on understanding your sensitivity, supporting regulation, and creating boundaries that honor your capacity rather than push against it. Our work may include exploring sensory overwhelm, emotional attunement, relational dynamics, and the impact of chronic stress or trauma on a sensitive nervous system. Therapy becomes a space to build self-trust, reduce shame, and develop sustainable ways of living and relating that allow your sensitivity to be a source of wisdom, connection, and resilience—not exhaustion.

Aranya Edmonds
Pre-Licensed Professional, LAMFT / LAC
I support highly sensitive individuals who experience emotions deeply and may feel overwhelmed by stress, environments, or relationships. Sensitivity is a strength, but it can also create emotional exhaustion. Therapy helps you develop emotional regulation, boundaries, and self-understanding so you can function with greater balance and confidence.

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.

Allison Falzone
Therapist, LMSW
Highly sensitive people often experience the world intensely, noticing subtleties, processing emotions deeply, and becoming overwhelmed more easily by stress or overstimulation. Influenced by the work of Dr. Elaine Aron, I help clients better understand their sensitivity and develop strategies that support emotional balance without suppressing who they are. Sensitivity can become a strength when approached with greater awareness and self-compassion.
