We work with highly sensitive individuals who feel deeply and experience the world intensely. Therapy helps turn sensitivity into a strength rather than a source of overwhelm.

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.

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.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with highly sensitive people, I start by getting to know your unique internal landscape—your sensory experiences, emotional responses, and how sensitivity shows up in your daily life. Together, we explore how your system moves through the world, and how environments not designed for sensitivity can lead to overwhelm. I work to normalize and contextualize these experiences, highlighting the strength in sensitivity while also acknowledging the need for support and maintenance.
Our work focuses on helping you better understand and care for your system, especially during moments when your capacity feels limited. We build strategies that are sustainable and compassionate—rooted in somatic awareness, parts work, and self-understanding—so you can move through the world in a way that honors your sensitivity rather than working against it.
