Highly Sensitive Person

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.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LCMHC, NCC, BC-TMH, PMH-C
The world can feel intense and demanding, even when life looks calm on the surface. You notice everything—shifts in mood, unspoken expectations, and subtle changes in your environment, and carrying it all can leave you emotionally drained. In therapy, we focus on helping you understand and honor your sensitivity while learning how to protect your energy and nervous system. Together, we work on boundaries, emotional regulation, and self-trust so your sensitivity becomes a strength rather than a source of overwhelm.

Seattle, Washington therapist: Aaron Kapin, somatic experiencing practitioner
Highly Sensitive Person

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.

Jackson, Tennessee therapist: Emily Stone, marriage and family therapist
Highly Sensitive Person

Emily Stone

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
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.

Spartanburg, South Carolina therapist: Modern Wellness Family Counseling, LLC, marriage and family therapist
Highly Sensitive Person

Modern Wellness Family Counseling, LLC

Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT/S, RPT/S
Are you having a difficult time handling the struggles in your life? Could you use support on what you’re going through, or a non-judgmental therapist just to listen? Do you think you could benefit the most from individualized attention? Are you hesitant to talk to others about your problems? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then individual therapy could be the solution you’ve been seeking. Individual therapy differs from group or alternative therapy methods in the way that you are the sole focus of a single therapist who helps you develop and achieve your goals for therapy. If you’ve been feeling hopeless or lost lately, or struggling with a problem in your life that feels unsurmountable, individual therapy could help you improve your everyday life. Individual therapy helps you win against whatever you’re battling by putting a real expert in your corner by means of a professional therapist. So if any of these sound like you… You keep worrying about the same problem over and over You don’t know who you could ever trust with knowing about your secret struggle You wish there was somebody who could tell you why you feel this way You’re interested in therapy, but you don’t want to give up total control Other areas of your life are being negatively impacted by your struggle You need somebody to listen to you and your feelings for once You’re interested in therapy, but not sure how it could fit into your life …Then individual therapy could be right for you. Individual therapy is so helpful for so many people because it’s the best way to get truly customized therapy. Group therapy may have its own set of numerous advantages but if you want more control over the pacing of your therapy, the methods used, the amount of analysis or feedback you can receive, and the timing of your sessions, you owe it to yourself to look into individual therapy. If you’re looking for help improving your everyday life – or for a more tailored therapy experience – you would be a great fit for our individual therapy services. Please reach out to us today for more information or to schedule your first appointment.

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.

Raleigh, North Carolina therapist: Nour Counseling, counselor/therapist
Highly Sensitive Person

Nour Counseling

Counselor/Therapist
Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) is often mislabeled as a problem—something to fix, tone down, or outgrow. You may have been called “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or made to feel like your reactions are excessive, when in reality, you’re responding to a world that is overwhelming, inconsistent, and at times, harmful. Sensitivity isn’t the issue—how it’s been treated often is. In many spaces, especially those shaped by rigid ideas of strength, productivity, or emotional control, sensitivity gets dismissed or pathologized instead of understood. For many people, this depth of sensitivity overlaps with forms of neurodivergence—like ADHD, autism, or giftedness—where sensory input, emotional processing, and awareness of your environment are heightened and constant. Without the right support, that can turn into chronic overwhelm, burnout, or feeling like you have to shrink yourself just to function. At Nour Counseling, we don’t ask you to become less sensitive. We help you become more supported. We work with you to understand how your nervous system operates, what actually overwhelms you (and why), and how to move through your life with more intention and protection. That includes building boundaries that hold, reducing overstimulation, shifting environments where possible, and unlearning the idea that your sensitivity is a weakness. We also name the cultural narratives that taught you that in the first place. This work is about reclaiming your sensitivity as something that can be grounded, informed, and sustainable—without abandoning yourself to fit into spaces that were never built with you in mind.

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.

The Woodlands, Texas therapist: Dr. Jenny Shields, psychologist
Highly Sensitive Person

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.

Denver, Colorado therapist: Dr. Elizabeth Coldren, psychologist
Highly Sensitive Person

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.
