Laurie Moore
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, PhD, IFS, Certified Hypnotherapist, EMDR, Cyclical Pain Repatterning, Somatic, Expressive Arts
Do you feel like there was an explosion when others barely noticed what just happened? Highly sensitive people deal with a multitude of experiences and challenges that those who are not highly sensitive would not be able to fully understand. As a highly sensitive therapist with many highly sensitive clientele, I can help you with deep compassion, and effective approaches to work with this experience.

Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
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.

Alyssa Habschmidt
Therapist, AMFT
I know what it's like to feel things deeply, have a heightened awareness of others, and be tuned into details that others may miss. You may be empathetic, creative, and deeply thoughtful—yet often told you're "too sensitive" or "overthinking." Stress, noise, and fast-paced environments can feel overwhelming, especially when you don't feel fully understood. I specialize in supporting highly sensitive people in deepening insight, honoring their sensitivity, and creating meaningful, self-led lives.
