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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, MS, LPCC, Brainspotting Certified
Being a highly sensitive person can mean experiencing emotions deeply and feeling easily overwhelmed by your environment.

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.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who feel and notice a lot. You might be deeply affected by others’ moods, small changes in tone, or the energy of a room. Loud noises, bright lights, busy schedules, or conflict may feel more overwhelming to you than to those around you. Many highly sensitive people grow up feeling “too much” or “too sensitive.”
As adults, this can look like needing more time to recover from social interactions or workdays; feeling easily overstimulated, wired, or shut down; taking on others’ feelings and struggling to find your own center; and being very conscientious, but also prone to burnout or self‑criticism.
Highly sensitive children and teens are often described as intense, dramatic, shy, or “overreactive.” They may have big feelings, strong empathy, vivid inner worlds, or a very thoughtful, observant way of moving through life. In environments that do not understand them, they can become anxious, withdrawn, perfectionistic, or reactive.
In our work together, we explore how your sensitivity shows up in your nervous system, relationships, and daily life. We look at what overwhelms you and what nourishes you so that sensitivity can become less of a constant struggle and more of a source of information, depth, and connection. When I work with children and teens, I also support parents in understanding their child’s sensitivity and responding in ways that feel more workable for everyone. Working with highly sensitive people is central to my practice, and I understand how much strength it takes to move through the world this way.

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.

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.
