Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
High sensitivity is a neurological trait, not a flaw. I help HSPs understand and embrace their way of processing the world, develop tools for managing overstimulation and emotional intensity, and transform sensitivity into a meaningful strength.

Shohreh Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Being a highly sensitive person means you experience the world deeply, often feeling emotions and sensations more intensely than others. While this sensitivity can be a gift, it can also feel overwhelming, leading to stress, exhaustion, or difficulty setting boundaries.
In a supportive and understanding space, I help highly sensitive individuals learn to honor their unique nature, manage overwhelm, and build resilience. Together, we can explore practical strategies to protect your energy while embracing your empathy and intuition. If you are ready to embrace your sensitivity with greater confidence and achieve a more balanced life, please contact me to begin this important journey. Professional support is available to guide you along the way.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics, Somatic Counseling & Bodywork
Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, HE, LMT
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with remarkable depth while also becoming more vulnerable to emotional overwhelm. Therapy helps you understand your sensitivity, strengthen regulation, and transform sensitivity into one of your greatest strengths.
I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.
Sensitivity is not a weakness to overcome. When understood and supported, it can become a source of insight, creativity, compassion, and resilience. Together we'll help you thrive without feeling overwhelmed by the world around you.

I help highly sensitive individuals better understand their emotional depth, nervous system sensitivity, and relational needs. Therapy supports learning how to manage overwhelm, set healthy boundaries, and experience sensitivity as a strength rather than a liability.
