Mishel Cowart
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA
As a Highly Sensitive Person, I am well suited to assist other highly empathic people to discern and separate their own feelings from the feelings of others. Highly Sensitive People (HSP) are typically very empathic or intuitive, and often times unaware they are deeply feeling other people's life experiences. This can lead to frequently feeling overwhelmed, tired, withdrawn as well as other physical symptoms. Working together we can explore ways to understand your sensitivity and how to live free of these and other symptoms.

When You Feel Everything Deeply
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or that you “care too much,” you may be what’s known as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) — someone whose nervous system is more finely tuned to the world around them. I understand this on a personal level — I’m an HSP myself. Being highly sensitive is not a flaw; it’s a temperament trait shared by about 20% of people. It means your mind and body process information and emotion more deeply. You notice subtleties, feel others’ moods, and reflect deeply — yet that same sensitivity can make life feel overwhelming, especially when faced with stress, criticism, or conflict.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you embrace sensitivity as a strength while learning tools to manage its challenges. Together, we’ll focus on:
Calming the inner critic that tells you you’re “too much”
Reducing anxiety and emotional exhaustion from overstimulation
Setting healthy boundaries without guilt
Building confidence to share your true self with others
Developing emotional tools that turn sensitivity into insight and intuition
Our work will be both structured and gentle — blending neuroscience, mindfulness, and humor to help you feel grounded, capable, and at peace in your own skin.
I BELIEVE:
Sensitivity is not weakness — it’s awareness, empathy, and depth.
You can be both strong and soft, confident and cautious, independent and deeply connected.
Boundaries are not walls; they’re invitations to authentic connection.
You deserve a life that feels calm, balanced, and safe for your sensitive nervous system.
Healing doesn’t mean hardening — it means learning to stay open without being overwhelmed.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

I help highly sensitive individuals better understand their emotional depth, nervous system sensitivity, and relational needs. Therapy supports learning how to manage overwhelm, set healthy boundaries, and experience sensitivity as a strength rather than a liability.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I am well versed in treating highly sensitive people and am surrounded by them both personally and professionally. Whether it's having a heightened sensory experience of the world, or living with intense emotions, or both, I have a number of tools and approaches to work with you to set healthy boundaries for yourself, find your own sense of balance, and also learn to manage more sensory input over time if needed. I take a strengths-based approach here, respecting and celebrating your unique neurophysiology and helping you learn to work with what you've got in a way that is most conducive to feeling good in your life.
