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 This can lead to frequently feeling overwhelmed, tired, withdrawn as well as other physical symptoms.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.

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.

Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Highly sensitive people experience the world with greater depth, noticing emotions, details, and changes others may miss. While this sensitivity can lead to overwhelm, it also brings empathy, insight, and creativity. Understanding this trait is important because it helps people value their strengths, manage stress more effectively, and create environments where they can thrive.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Being a highly sensitive person is often experienced as a liability rather than a trait, especially in fast-paced professional environments that reward toughness over attunement. I help clients understand their sensitivity as genuine capacity rather than flaw, and build boundaries and regulation strategies that let them use it well instead of being overwhelmed by it.

Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Being highly sensitive is not a flaw, it is a nervous system trait. Many highly sensitive individuals have experienced environments where their depth, empathy, or emotional intensity were misunderstood. Therapy helps you understand your sensitivity as strength, develop regulation tools, and create boundaries that allow you to thrive rather than feel overwhelmed.
