Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

I am a Highly Sensitive Person and enjoy working with others who have heightened sensitivity. We are extraordinary, but it can be difficult to be a sensitive person in a brash, harsh world. I can help you set energetic and emotional boundaries, develop detached empathy, and lay down any responsibility for others that isn't yours to carry.

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.

Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
Our experience of the world is often impacted by how we experience it through our senses. For some people, the world is harder to navigate because lights are much brighter, sounds are much louder, and textures are far more uncomfortable. And for a lot of highly sensitive people, emotions are significantly stronger.

LEGACY MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTING SERVICES
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Legacy Mental Health Consulting Services provides supportive, insight‑driven care for individuals who identify as Highly Sensitive Persons—those who experience emotions deeply, notice subtle details, and feel more affected by stress, conflict, or overstimulation. We understand that high sensitivity is not a flaw but a meaningful temperament trait that can bring creativity, empathy, intuition, and rich inner awareness. At the same time, it can lead to overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism, or difficulty setting boundaries. Using approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, DBT skills, and strengths‑based exploration, we help clients manage emotional intensity, reduce sensory overload, and build confidence in their unique way of experiencing the world. Our goal is to create a safe, affirming space where highly sensitive individuals can thrive, feel understood, and learn to use their sensitivity as a source of resilience and empowerment.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you are highly sensitive, you may feel things deeply and get overwhelmed more easily by conflict, noise, or constant demands. We can treat sensitivity as a temperament, not a flaw, and work on practical ways to manage overstimulation. This often includes boundaries, nervous system regulation, and improving how you navigate relationships and stress so you can feel steadier without having to shut down who you are.

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.
