Melissa Quinn Pollock

The highly sensitive individual is imbued with sensory gifts that often get overrun by our environments. HSPs often have a higher likelihood and more intense experience of mental illness. We can work on unique ways to harness your gifts and alleviate stress.

Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Highly sensitive people experience the world through a nervous system with the volume turned all the way up — sensory input, emotional nuance, and social dynamics register more intensely, more deeply, and more exhaustingly than average.
Neurofeedback doesn't dull that sensitivity — it regulates the nervous system's threshold for overwhelm, training the brain to process rich sensory and emotional experience without tipping into dysregulation. The gift remains. The suffering diminishes.

El Cajon is a San Diego County city home to one of the largest concentrations of Iraqi Christians (Chaldeans) outside Iraq and one of the most significant Somali and East African refugee communities in California, as well as substantial communities from across the Middle East, making it one of the most culturally distinctive cities in Southern California and creating specific demands for culturally and linguistically competent mental health services. The trauma of displacement, war, and refugee journeys is a central concern in the local mental health landscape, and finding therapists who speak Chaldean Neo-Aramaic, Arabic, or Somali and understand the cultural and religious dimensions of these communities' mental health experiences is essential but consistently challenging. San Diego County Behavioral Health provides public services, and community organizations serve immigrant and refugee populations. Common therapy concerns include refugee trauma and PTSD, acculturative stress, religious and cultural identity in diaspora, family and intergenerational conflict between refugee parents and American-raised children, and the grief of displacement and community loss.
