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.

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.

Josie Valderrama
Psychologist, PsyD
Too often we are gaslit by the outer world, told that we are too sensitive. When the opposite is more true: that we need to protect ourselves even more from the brutality of the world. Boundary work, intuition training, bolstering discernment via cognitive behavioral strategies--these are just a few of the approaches I utilize. Integrating head and heart. Challenging your comfort zone while strengthening your sense of safety, self-acceptance and peace of mind.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I offer therapy for highly sensitive people from a framework that honors sensitivity as a meaningful and adaptive way of experiencing the world. Our work may include understanding how heightened emotional, sensory, and relational awareness can be both a strength and a source of overwhelm, especially in busy environments. Together, we focus on building self-compassion for your superpower, strengthening boundaries to help your nervous system down regulate, and developing sustainable tools, such as pacing, to care for your nervous system. These techniques can help highly sensitive people live with greater ease and authenticity in their bodies, rather than feeling like their natural system is something that needs to be changed or fixed.

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.

Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
As a highly sensitive person, you feel emotions, stimulus, and stress so much more deeply than others. You don't need me to tell you that this can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt from the rigors of trying to fit into a world that is often simply way too intense. Hypnotherapy for highly sensitive people helps calm the nervous system and access the subconscious mind to create real, lasting relief. Through a gentle, evidence-based approach, you can strengthen your resilience, feel more hope, and find your way towards thriving even in a world that sometimes feels like too much.
