Melissa Quinn Pollock
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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.

Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Feeling deeply and noticing subtleties in your environment can be meaningful strengths, but they can also make a fast, demanding, and overstimulating world exhausting.
Highly sensitive people may find themselves deeply affected by relationships, conflict, noise, expectations, injustice, changes in their environment, or the emotional experiences of people around them. You may need more time for rest and processing than the world seems willing to give you.
Therapy can help you better understand your sensitivity without treating it as something inherently wrong with you. Together, we can explore boundaries, overstimulation, emotional regulation, relationships, rest, sensory needs, connection with nature, and ways of building a life that honors your sensitivity rather than constantly asking you to override it.

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.

Sara Gillooly
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPCC
As a queer and AuDHD therapist myself, I have lived experience in learning how to live a life that feels more authentic and grounded. I specialize in working with queer, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults struggling with the impacts of trauma as well as feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult family relationships, and identity exploration. Ultimately, I'm not interested in "treating" your neurodivergence but I will support you wholeheartedly in navigating the complexities that come with it.
