I work with highly sensitive individuals to help them understand and embrace their unique traits. Together, we explore ways to manage overstimulation, set healthy boundaries, and harness sensitivity as the strength that it is.

Xandra Hawes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
If you’re highly sensitive, life can feel louder, heavier, or more intense than it does for others, and therapy becomes a place to gently understand that experience. I help HSPs learn grounding skills, manage emotional overwhelm, and strengthen boundaries without losing their deep empathy or intuition. Your sensitivity is not a flaw. It is a profound gift that becomes easier to carry as we explore both the emotional and energetic layers of your inner world. Over time, you develop confidence in your sensitivity and learn how to move through life with more steadiness and self-trust.

Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
Being a HSP, highly sensitive person myself, I very much empathize and can be very helpful working with HSPs. I found in my own therapy-healing journey, it mattered a lot if the therapist really understood this part of me. In fact, HSP's can be greater impacted by abuse and trauma due to their high sensitivity. The way HSP's are affected is more complex. No matter what you are struggling with, if you are seeking therapy or coaching and are a highly sensitive person, I would love to work with you.

Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Highly sensitive people have special superpowers for feeling and perceiving. In my experience, HSPs are often not taught how to work with their sensitivity effectively and so it can feel confusing and overwhelming. HSPs also often grow up in environments where they are told that they are too sensitive so there can be shame around feeling so much. I help HSPs know how to work with their gifts and we work to release any shame and negative association with being sensitive.

Benediction Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC
Being a Highly Sensitive Person means experiencing the world deeply—not weakly. While sensitivity can bring empathy, creativity, and insight, it can also lead to overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and difficulty managing stress. We help highly sensitive individuals better understand their nervous systems, establish healthy boundaries, and embrace their sensitivity as a strength.

Danielle Martinelli-Taylor
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, EMDRIA
Your emotions and feelings are there for a reason, and not to be shamed. The use of ART and REBT grants insight into the signals that the feelings are sending while finding tools to help engage with others and oneself.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a highly sensitive person myself, I understand how sensitivity can feel both overwhelming and deeply valuable. I use IFS, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to help clients manage overstimulation and shame while highlighting the strengths of empathy and awareness. Narrative and existential therapies further support meaning-making. My diagnostic training ensures accurate distinction between sensitivity, trauma, and neurodivergence, while I also use a sensory diet approach to help with regulation and self care.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I work with empaths at all levels to develop skills needed to dim the external noise and form a force field of protection from unwanted and depleting energies. We use hypnotherapy and related frameworks, along with visualizations, NLP, EMT and motivational programming. I give you tools you can use that allow you to climb out of a fear-based spiral in less than three minutes. I give you hypnotic programming that literally installs new hardware to wire in the new identity, beliefs, and emotions to empower you to feel invincible and turn on and turn off your gift of sensitivity as needed. Ultimately, you will once again feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin.

Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
I don't think sensitivity is a flaw to manage away - I think it's one of the richest parts of being human, and often the exact thing that makes deep connection possible. If you were told growing up that you were too sensitive or too much, we work on understanding that your sensitivity was never the problem. The environment around it was.
