Highly Sensitive Person
Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Working with a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) involves creating a calm, low-stimulation environment, embracing a slower processing pace, and validating their deep emotional experiences. Therapy helps them to reframe sensitivity as a strength, focus on boundary setting and nervous system regulation, and avoid rushing or overloading them with information. It is extremely important that HSPs learn to appreciate their Sensitive Strengths. Help them see the advantages of being Highly Sensitive and transform their perception of Sensitivity as a weakness. Self-compassion practices can help calm the inner critic and feelings of being different. Taking time to explore and reframe early life experiences through an HSP lens can be incredibly healing. Clients can begin to realize their challenges are not synonymous with their true self. Additionally, helping build awareness of body’s cues so the client can identify when they are beginning to feel overwhelmed - this makes it easier to reduce input, decrease stimulation and manage intense emotions.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Have you often been told you are sensitive? Has life felt especially overwhelming these last few years? There is so much going on in the world in addition to the personal things we are dealing with day to day. Being highly sensitive may look like taking in the feelings of other people, thinking and processing deeply, and often feeling overwhelmed by these deep experiences. High sensitivity can often feel like a double edge sword of feeling both the immense beauty and pain of life. Learning more about your sensitivity and how to support your individual and relational needs may help. I'm here to support you as a fellow highly sensitive human.

Highly Sensitive Person
LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Highly Sensitive Person (HSP): Being highly sensitive can be both a gift and a challenge. You may feel emotions deeply, become easily overwhelmed by stress, absorb the feelings of others, or struggle with boundaries. While your sensitivity allows for profound empathy and insight, it can also lead to exhaustion and emotional overload.
I help highly sensitive individuals understand and embrace their unique traits while developing tools to navigate the world with greater confidence and balance. Together, we’ll strengthen boundaries, manage overstimulation, and cultivate self-care practices that support your well-being.
This work is about transforming sensitivity from something you struggle with into one of your greatest strengths.
