Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
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.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I am well versed in treating highly sensitive people and am surrounded by them both personally and professionally. Whether it's having a heightened sensory experience of the world, or living with intense emotions, or both, I have a number of tools and approaches to work with you to set healthy boundaries for yourself, find your own sense of balance, and also learn to manage more sensory input over time if needed. I take a strengths-based approach here, respecting and celebrating your unique neurophysiology and helping you learn to work with what you've got in a way that is most conducive to feeling good in your life.
