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.

Mishel Cowart
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA
As a Highly Sensitive Person, I am well suited to assist other highly empathic people to discern and separate their own feelings from the feelings of others. Highly Sensitive People (HSP) are typically very empathic or intuitive, and often times unaware they are deeply feeling other people's life experiences. This can lead to frequently feeling overwhelmed, tired, withdrawn as well as other physical symptoms. Working together we can explore ways to understand your sensitivity and how to live free of these and other symptoms.

Carter Psychotherapy Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C, IEDS
We frequently work with clients who are highly sensitive to the world around them. We help you understand your inner world, meet your needs, and navigate complex situations. Some of our highly sensitive clients love working more slowly and with mindfulness-based therapies so they can take their time, dive in, and explore.

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.
