Dr. Samuel Hawkins, Praxis Counseling & Consulting
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ph.D., LPC
I understand how emotional and sensory stimuli can cause a person to feel overwhelmed. A person who handles other environments very well can find themselves in environments where it feels like each noise or possible conflict is magnified in a way that causes them to want to shut down and withdraw to a peaceful place. I also understand how others around them may not perceive what is bothering them and discount their feelings. I offer a supportive environment for discussing these experiences, and practical tools to use in managing the situations that trigger them.

Highly Sensitive Person
Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
I know the struggle for HSP. A significant portion of the folks I currently work with identify as HSP or have sensory sensitivity issues. I try to make my office as welcoming and comfortable for HSPs (no strong smells or fluorescent lights, for example), and am open to making accommodations if necessary in our work. I also use the Job Accommodation Network to assist in any accommodations needed for school, university, or work.

Highly Sensitive Person
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.

Fernanda Cutrone Krumm, LPC/LCPC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (AL), LCPC (IL), LMHC (FL)
As a therapist who is also an HSP, I understand what it feels like to notice everything deeply — emotions, social cues, energy shifts — and sometimes feel overwhelmed by it all. I work with clients to manage intensity, protect their energy, and use sensitivity as a strength rather than a burden. Together, we develop practical strategies, grounding techniques, and ways to navigate life so that sensitivity becomes an asset instead of a liability. My approach is empathetic, real, and tailored to the unique experience of living life on a deeper wavelength.
16 Years Experience
Online in Birmingham, AL Alabama (Online Only)
Birmingham carries one of the most significant civil rights legacies of any American city — the site of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing and pivotal moments in the fight for racial justice — and this history creates a distinctive context in which racial identity, historical trauma, and community resilience are active themes in local therapy culture. The city is home to UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham), one of the country's premier academic medical centers, which anchors significant mental health research, training, and clinical infrastructure. Birmingham's African American community — which comprises a majority of the city's population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. The broader Birmingham metro's mix of healthcare, finance, and manufacturing industries creates diverse occupational therapy demand across a metropolitan area larger than the city itself.
