Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
Being a Highly Sensitive Person comes with great gifts as well as some unique challenges. Researchers estimate that 20-30% of people (and many animal species) are more sensitively-wired. In fact, it's estimated that over 40% of people who reach out for therapy are highly sensitive. I specialize in working with HSPs and have for a number of years. Learning about Dr. Elaine Aron's research around HSPs was transformative for me personally and professionally. I find that HSP clients as well as parents raising HSP kids benefit from HSP-knowledgeable and -supportive therapy, using a gentle approach that identifies and validates the gifts and provides strategies for navigating the tricky parts (prone to overstimulation in overwhelming environments, people-pleasing, perfectionism, boundaries, difficulty with conflict, among others). HSPs are deep feelers, deep processors, have immense empathy for others, and naturally notice all the details of people and the places they are in.

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

Inglewood is an LA County city adjacent to Los Angeles with a historically significant Black community that is undergoing rapid and dramatic transformation driven by the arrival of SoFi Stadium (home of the NFL's Rams and Chargers) and Intuit Dome (home of the NBA's Clippers), and the mental health landscape is significantly shaped by the displacement anxieties, economic pressures, and cultural grief of long-term residents facing gentrification and the loss of neighborhood character. Rising housing costs are pushing out families who have been part of the Inglewood community for generations, and the psychological impacts of forced displacement—grief, anger, identity loss, and financial stress—are prominent themes in local therapy. Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health provides public services, and a private therapy sector is developing alongside the city's changing demographics. Common therapy concerns include displacement and gentrification trauma, racial identity and community belonging, economic stress, anxiety, and the complex emotions of watching a beloved community transform in ways that benefit some while excluding others.
