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.

Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
As a highly sensitive person, you feel emotions, stimulus, and stress so much more deeply than others. You don't need me to tell you that this can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt from the rigors of trying to fit into a world that is often simply way too intense. Hypnotherapy for highly sensitive people helps calm the nervous system and access the subconscious mind to create real, lasting relief. Through a gentle, evidence-based approach, you can strengthen your resilience, feel more hope, and find your way towards thriving even in a world that sometimes feels like too much.

Peter C. Jackson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
If you identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), you likely experience the world with exceptional depth, noticing details and subtleties that others might miss. While this brings rich insights and creativity, it can also lead to feeling drained, anxious, or overstimulated. I provide a supportive environment where we celebrate your unique nervous system and explore how to optimize your well-being. Our work focuses on building emotional resilience, creating nurturing practices, and developing personalized tools to navigate life's intensity, empowering you to thrive in your authenticity.

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.

Dr. Shannon Coleman
Psychologist, PhD
Some people experience emotions, sensory experiences, and interpersonal situations with particular intensity. Therapy can help you better understand your sensitivity, manage feeling overwhelmed, and develop ways to use your sensitivity as a strength rather than feeling controlled by it.
