Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you turn down lights, pick clothes by how they feel, have trouble staying places with strong smells, or wish you could turn down the volume everywhere you go? Does it seem like you feel every emotion more quickly and intensely than others? Do you know what others around you are feeling before they even seem to know themselves? It is exhausting to feel like every sensation and every emotion is raw and open, and can make navigating relationships and boundaries challenging. With understanding and compassion we can work together to help you understand your sensitivity, manage overwhelm, and build confidence while honoring your unique strengths and needs.

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 In environments that do not understand them, they can become anxious, withdrawn, perfectionistic, or reactive.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.

Allison Falzone
Therapist, LMSW
Highly sensitive people often experience the world intensely, noticing subtleties, processing emotions deeply, and becoming overwhelmed more easily by stress or overstimulation. Influenced by the work of Dr. Elaine Aron, I help clients better understand their sensitivity and develop strategies that support emotional balance without suppressing who they are. Sensitivity can become a strength when approached with greater awareness and self-compassion.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You notice everything. The way someone’s tone doesn’t match their words. The shift in a room when tension walks in. The beauty in small, fleeting things most people rush past. You feel deeply, love fiercely, and carry more than anyone realizes—because from the outside, you probably seem composed, capable, even unshakeable.
But inside? It’s a different story. Loud noises feel like an ambush. Crowded schedules leave you overstimulated and drained. Criticism—especially from yourself—lingers far longer than you’d like. Maybe you’ve spent years wondering why things seem to hit you harder, why you can’t just “let it go,” or why rest never feels like enough.
Dr. Jenny Shields sees you. She understands what it’s like to live in a world that’s too fast, too harsh, too loud—and to feel like you’re too much for it. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and compassion-based work, she helps sensitive souls turn down the inner noise, set boundaries that protect their peace, and reclaim their sensitivity as the strength it truly is. You don’t need to toughen up. You need space to be exactly who you are—and to learn how to thrive because of your sensitivity, not in spite of it.
