Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Feeling things deeply can make life rich, but it can also leave you overwhelmed by conflict, busy environments, or subtle changes in someone’s mood. If you have been told you are “too sensitive,” we can explore how that has shaped the way you see yourself and what you feel allowed to need. I want to help you understand and value your sensitivity while feeling steadier in the world and more trusting of your own experience.

Josie Munroe, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
As a Highly Sensitive Person, you process the world in a uniquely deep way - emotionally, physically, and mentally. That can mean, however, that you often face overstimulation and overwhelm. But sensitivity isn’t a flaw, and with the right support, it can be a powerful strength.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
Being a Highly Sensitive Person comes with great gifts as well as some unique challenges. Researchers estimate that 20-30% of people (and many animal species) are more sensitively-wired. In fact, it's estimated that over 40% of people who reach out for therapy are highly sensitive. I specialize in working with HSPs and have for a number of years. Learning about Dr. Elaine Aron's research around HSPs was transformative for me personally and professionally. I find that HSP clients as well as parents raising HSP kids benefit from HSP-knowledgeable and -supportive therapy, using a gentle approach that identifies and validates the gifts and provides strategies for navigating the tricky parts (prone to overstimulation in overwhelming environments, people-pleasing, perfectionism, boundaries, difficulty with conflict, among others). HSPs are deep feelers, deep processors, have immense empathy for others, and naturally notice all the details of people and the places they are in.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness or disorder. You may experience emotions deeply, notice subtle changes, feel strongly affected by conflict, or become overwhelmed by stimulation and the needs of others. Without understanding and support, sensitivity can lead to anxiety, exhaustion, self-doubt, or difficulty setting boundaries.
I help highly sensitive clients understand and honor their nervous systems, regulate overwhelming emotions, establish healthy limits, and protect their energy without shutting down their empathy. Together, we transform sensitivity from a source of distress into greater self-awareness, intuition, compassion, and strength.

Anna Schick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Being highly sensitive means you may experience the world more deeply, picking up on subtle emotions, changes in your environment, and the needs of others. While this sensitivity can bring empathy, intuition, and meaningful connections, it can also leave you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or struggling to set boundaries. Therapy offers a space to better understand your sensitivity, explore what contributes to stress and emotional overload, and develop ways to feel more grounded and confident. Rather than trying to change this part of yourself, our work focuses on helping you embrace your sensitivity while creating more balance in your life and relationships.
