Brittany Ryan-Berzins
Psychologist, PhD
I work with highly sensitive individuals from a place of deep compassion and respect for the way they experience the world. Sensitivity can bring remarkable depth, intuition, empathy, and awareness, but it can also leave individuals feeling overwhelmed by emotions, relationships, expectations, or the intensity of everyday life. Rather than viewing sensitivity as something that needs to be fixed, I help clients understand and honor it as an inherent part of who they are while developing greater emotional regulation and resilience. Drawing from mindfulness, self-compassion, and cognitive behavioral therapy, we explore patterns of self-criticism, overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing that can develop when sensitive individuals feel they need to protect themselves or adapt to the needs of others. Together, we cultivate greater self-acceptance, healthy boundaries, and trust in one’s own inner experience. The goal is not to become less sensitive, but to feel more grounded and confident in your sensitivity—able to experience life deeply without becoming overwhelmed by it.

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.

Soma Aloia, Holistic Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, SE, CSC, CYT
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with remarkable depth while also becoming more vulnerable to emotional overwhelm. Therapy helps you understand your sensitivity, strengthen regulation, and transform sensitivity into one of your greatest strengths.
I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.
Sensitivity is not a weakness to overcome. When understood and supported, it can become a source of insight, creativity, compassion, and resilience. Together we'll help you thrive without feeling overwhelmed by the world around you.

Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Experiencing the world with greater emotional depth and sensitivity can be meaningful, but it can also feel lonely or overwhelming when others don’t seem to experience things with the same intensity. Therapy offers a space to explore the depth of your feelings and experiences without viewing your sensitivity, perceptions, or way of engaging with the world as something that needs to be changed or corrected.
