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.

Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
I work with highly sensitive adults who feel easily overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or drained by expectations and stimulation. Therapy focuses on nervous system regulation, emotional boundaries, and understanding sensitivity as a strength rather than a flaw.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
Being a highly sensitive person is NOT a weakness. You may feel emotions deeply, become overwhelmed more easily, or notice things that other people do not. I help highly sensitive individuals and couples better understand this unique quality. Together, we will learn how to work with your sensitivity instead of feeling controlled by it.

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.

As a therapist who understands the unique experiences of High Sensitive Persons (HSPs), I offer a gentle, affirming space to explore the challenges and gifts of sensitivity. It may be you feel easily overwhelmed, deeply affected by the emotions of others, or in need of more space and time to process life, we can work together to help you navigate the word with greater ease and self-compassion.

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.

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.

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.
