Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with highly sensitive people, I start by getting to know your unique internal landscape—your sensory experiences, emotional responses, and how sensitivity shows up in your daily life. Together, we explore how your system moves through the world, and how environments not designed for sensitivity can lead to overwhelm. I work to normalize and contextualize these experiences, highlighting the strength in sensitivity while also acknowledging the need for support and maintenance.
Our work focuses on helping you better understand and care for your system, especially during moments when your capacity feels limited. We build strategies that are sustainable and compassionate—rooted in somatic awareness, parts work, and self-understanding—so you can move through the world in a way that honors your sensitivity rather than working 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.

Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Being a highly sensitive person isn't a weakness. It's a way of experiencing the world with greater depth, awareness, and emotional intensity. While these qualities can be tremendous strengths, they can also leave you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or exhausted. Therapy can help you better understand your sensitivity, develop boundaries that protect your energy, and embrace this part of yourself with greater confidence and self-compassion.

Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Being highly sensitive is not a flaw, it is a nervous system trait. Many highly sensitive individuals have experienced environments where their depth, empathy, or emotional intensity were misunderstood. Therapy helps you understand your sensitivity as strength, develop regulation tools, and create boundaries that allow you to thrive rather than feel overwhelmed.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Being a highly sensitive person can be a benefit, but can also make it hard to navigate relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with and work with your sensitivities and get more of what you want from life. You can understand what you can and can't control, and if any of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

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.

Many highly sensitive people have spent their lives being told they are “too much” or “too sensitive.” In our work together, we reframe sensitivity as a nervous system trait rather than a flaw. We focus on emotional regulation, boundaries, overstimulation, relationships, and learning how to build a life that supports your sensitivity instead of overwhelming it.
