Highly Sensitive Person
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From one highly sensitive person to another, it can be a crazy world out there. Two things that I've found helpful:
1st, resiliency training: Although our bodies can react to things that other people might brush off, Somatic Experiencing can help build up our ability to settle our stress and activation levels. That party might still be uncomfortably loud, but it's more tolerable when you have confidence that you can quickly find comfort again once you leave.
2nd: Boundary training and asking for what you want: As we get better at knowing what would help us feel more comfortable, and better at asking for it, we can start to re-shape our environment to feel better. Then as we feel better, and as our loved ones know how to help us, we are more resourceful, more able to connect with others, and more able to be the people we want to be in the world.

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.

Highly Sensitive Person
Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
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.

A highly sensitive person, is an individual who will experience the world more intensely, processing the world's experiences more deeply often with over stimulation often creating a sense of feeling overwhelmed.

Highly Sensitive Person
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.
