Highly Sensitive Person
Grace Catherine (Laboy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I too identify as a highly sensitive person, so I understand firsthand the unique challenges a highly sensitive person faces. Sensitivity is a gift but can also be a curse. In other words, it can bring deep empathy, intuition, and creativity, but it can also feel overwhelming in a fast-paced, demanding world. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you explore how your sensitivity impacts your emotions, relationships, and daily life. Together, we’ll work to reduce overwhelm, strengthen boundaries, and honor your needs—while helping you embrace your sensitivity as a strength rather than a burden, at a pace that feels safe and validating for you.

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.

There is a special place in my heart for Highly Sensitive People, a population I am drawn and connected to. I have ample experience working with HSP's in a therapeutic relationship, helping HSP's feel understood and held emotionally. Together, we work toward a decrease in suffering while also exploring the gifts of your sensitivity.

Highly Sensitive Person
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with great emotional depth and intensity. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to help sensitive individuals develop emotional boundaries, nervous system regulation, and self-trust. This process supports sensitivity as a strength rather than a source of overwhelm.

Aimen Bukhari

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.

Lisa Chester-Schyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
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.

Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with remarkable depth, empathy, and awareness—but that depth can also feel overwhelming. I work with highly sensitive clients to better understand and embrace their sensitivity as a strength, while building skills to manage overstimulation, emotional intensity, and boundary challenges. Together, we explore patterns such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, or difficulty saying no, and develop practical tools for nervous system regulation and emotional balance. Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients reframe self-criticism, strengthen boundaries, and cultivate self-trust. We also focus on honoring your needs for rest, reflection, and meaningful connection. My approach is warm, validating, and collaborative. Rather than trying to “toughen up” or change who you are, our work centers on helping you thrive as a highly sensitive person—grounded, confident, and empowered in your relationships and daily life.

Highly Sensitive Person
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.
