Highly Sensitive Person
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.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be particularly beneficial for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) by helping them manage overwhelming emotions and sensory experiences. Through deep relaxation and guided visualization, hypnotherapists can assist HSPs in developing coping strategies for stressful situations and reducing anxiety. This therapeutic approach empowers individuals to reframe negative thought patterns, enhance emotional resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of self-acceptance, making daily life more manageable for those who feel acutely affected by their environment.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I offer therapy for highly sensitive people from a framework that honors sensitivity as a meaningful and adaptive way of experiencing the world. Our work may include understanding how heightened emotional, sensory, and relational awareness can be both a strength and a source of overwhelm, especially in busy environments. Together, we focus on building self-compassion for your superpower, strengthening boundaries to help your nervous system down regulate, and developing sustainable tools, such as pacing, to care for your nervous system. These techniques can help highly sensitive people live with greater ease and authenticity in their bodies, rather than feeling like their natural system is something that needs to be changed or fixed.

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.
