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.

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.

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.

Mishel Cowart
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA
As a Highly Sensitive Person, I am well suited to assist other highly empathic people to discern and separate their own feelings from the feelings of others. Highly Sensitive People (HSP) are typically very empathic or intuitive, and often times unaware they are deeply feeling other people's life experiences. This can lead to frequently feeling overwhelmed, tired, withdrawn as well as other physical symptoms. Working together we can explore ways to understand your sensitivity and how to live free of these and other symptoms.
