Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
I know the struggle for HSP. A significant portion of the folks I currently work with identify as HSP or have sensory sensitivity issues. I try to make my office as welcoming and comfortable for HSPs (no strong smells or fluorescent lights, for example), and am open to making accommodations if necessary in our work. I also use the Job Accommodation Network to assist in any accommodations needed for school, university, or work.

Navigating the world as a deep feeler has been one of my core processes as a psychotherapist and human. I hold deep space to explore and witness your process as a deep feeler. I am also planning to offer in-person process groups for Deep Feelers/HSPs in 2026 .

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.

Bay Tree Therapy Group
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive” or feel easily overwhelmed by noise, conflict, or strong emotions—you're not alone. As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), your nervous system processes the world deeply, which can be both a strength and a challenge. Therapy can help you understand and embrace your sensitivity, set healthy boundaries, and develop tools to navigate overstimulation and emotional intensity. We honor your unique wiring and work with you to build a life that feels balanced, meaningful, and true to who you are.

Highly sensitive people deal with a multitude of experiences and challenges that those who are not highly sensitive would not be able to fully understand. As a highly sensitive therapist with many highly sensitive clientele, I can help you with deep compassion, and effective approaches to work with this experience.

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.

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.

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.
