Highly Sensitive Person
Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Highly sensitive people experience the world with greater depth, noticing emotions, details, and changes others may miss. While this sensitivity can lead to overwhelm, it also brings empathy, insight, and creativity. Understanding this trait is important because it helps people value their strengths, manage stress more effectively, and create environments where they can thrive.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Have you often been told you are sensitive? Has life felt especially overwhelming these last few years? There is so much going on in the world in addition to the personal things we are dealing with day to day. Being highly sensitive may look like taking in the feelings of other people, thinking and processing deeply, and often feeling overwhelmed by these deep experiences. High sensitivity can often feel like a double edge sword of feeling both the immense beauty and pain of life. Learning more about your sensitivity and how to support your individual and relational needs may help. I'm here to support you as a fellow highly sensitive human.

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.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
Being a highly sensitive person isn't a disorder or a curse - it's just who you are and how you are wired. I will help you explore both the pluses and minuses and help you acknowledge and enjoy the good, while perhaps better managing the downsides. Having good boundaries will be essential - for example, knowing where your limits are to avoid you getting excessively drained and knowing how to do good self-care. Whatever your goals are around being highly sensitive, I will work to help you figure out how to achieve them.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Sensitivity is not weakness; it is depth. I help highly sensitive individuals regulate overwhelm, honor intuition, and build lives that protect their energy without shrinking their gifts and build confidence with practicing and creating boundaries around their energy.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Support for highly sensitive, deeply feeling, intuitive, empathic, and sensory-aware individuals who experience the world with remarkable depth and intensity. Sensitivity is not viewed as a flaw or weakness, but as a meaningful way of perceiving, processing, and relating to the world.
Together, we explore the intersections of sensitivity, neurodivergence, nervous system regulation, trauma, creativity, spirituality, identity, and relationships. Our work may focus on sensory overwhelm, emotional intensity, boundaries, burnout, compassion fatigue, and unlearning messages that taught you your sensitivity was "too much." Instead, we cultivate ways of caring for your sensitivity as a source of insight, connection, wisdom, and strength.
