Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
There is a special place in my heart for Highly Sensitive People, a population I am drawn and connected to. I have ample experience working with HSP's in a therapeutic relationship, helping HSP's feel understood and held emotionally. Together, we work toward a decrease in suffering while also exploring the gifts of your sensitivity.

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.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be particularly beneficial for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) by helping them manage overwhelming emotions and sensory experiences. Through deep relaxation and guided visualization, hypnotherapists can assist HSPs in developing coping strategies for stressful situations and reducing anxiety. This therapeutic approach empowers individuals to reframe negative thought patterns, enhance emotional resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of self-acceptance, making daily life more manageable for those who feel acutely affected by their environment.

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.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), you feel and process stimuli the world presents in a manner that touches you more deeply than most. Whether it be the overwhelm of bright and searing lights, the grating or startling sounds of bustling activity or loud noises in your purview, or knowledge of the suffering of other people, animals, or the natural world, HSPs experience almost everything more intensely and, as a result, can easily become exhausted by overstimulation. At the same time, HSPs have been given the gifts of attunement and heightened empathy. We can transform these sensitivities into strengths as we learn to embrace our uniqueness, understand how we might differ from others, determine realistic boundaries, and learn to proactively communicate our needs.

Emily Maynard
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Maybe you're new to the Highly Sensitive Person club, maybe you've known since you were little that something felt different for you. You feel deeper, care more, react stronger, and you got called "dramatic" growing up. I help HSPs understand their powers, and how to live more in flow with their unique limitations and skills.

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.

Dan Safavi
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-22108
If you tend to feel things deeply, become easily overstimulated, or need more time to process emotions and experiences, therapy can help you better understand and work with that sensitivity. I help highly sensitive clients develop stronger boundaries, regulate overwhelm, and use sensitivity as a source of awareness rather than treating it as something that needs to be fixed.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Highly sensitive people are at greater risk for overwhelm and burnout. You may feel shut down by stress and conflict, and you may become overstimulated by absorbing the emotions of people around you. I can help you build resilience by creating healthy boundaries and regulating your nervous system to maintain calm and take a break from overthinking. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old unhelpful patterns, and helping you to maintain a peaceful, happy life.
