Haven Psychology Group
Psychologist
Some people experience emotions, interpersonal tension, sensory input, or criticism with unusual intensity. Therapy can help highly sensitive clients better understand their emotional responses, reduce overwhelm, strengthen boundaries and regulation skills, and build a life that works with their temperament rather than treating sensitivity itself as something that needs to be eliminated.

If you feel everything deeply, you’re not “too much” — you’re wired differently. I help highly sensitive people navigate overwhelm, protect their energy, and turn sensitivity into a strength.

The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP): Navigating a High-Definition World
From Sensory Overwhelm to Strategic Depth
About 20% of the population is born with a nervous system that processes information more deeply than others. While the world often labels this as being "too sensitive," in my practice, we recognize this as Sensory Processing Sensitivity—a trait that brings incredible empathy, creativity, and intuition, but also a higher risk for burnout and overwhelm.
The Challenges of the "Deep Processor"
Living as an HSP in a neurotypical, fast-paced society can feel like your "volume" is permanently turned up. We work together to navigate:
Emotional Overwhelm: Learning to distinguish between your own emotions and the "emotional residue" you pick up from others in the room.
Sensory Meltdowns & Shut Downs: Identifying the environmental triggers—loud noises, bright lights, or chaotic social systems—that lead to systemic exhaustion.
Rejection Sensitivity: Addressing the deep, often painful way that HSPs process social cues and perceived criticism.
The HSP Professional: Healers, Pastors, and Creatives
I have a "special love" for working with highly sensitive healers. Your sensitivity is likely what makes you an incredible therapist, pastor, or leader, but it is also what makes you susceptible to secondary trauma. We use a Systems Theory approach to:
Architect Your Environment: Creating "sensory-safe" professional and personal spaces that allow your nervous system to rest.
Attachment & Boundaries: Moving away from the "people-pleasing" often used as a safety strategy, toward a grounded, authentic way of relating to others.
EMDR for Overstimulation: Using EMDR to process past moments of "sensory trauma" or times when you were shamed for your sensitivity.
Honoring Your High-Definition Lens
With over 20 years of experience, I am here to help you stop apologizing for your depth and start honoring it. You don't need to "toughen up"; you need to develop the strategies that allow your sensitive system to flourish.
Your sensitivity is not a flaw in the system—it is a different, more intricate way of being human.

Joel Schmidt
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” it might just mean you experience the world more deeply than most. I work with highly sensitive people to better understand their emotional responsiveness—not as a flaw, but as a trait that comes with both challenges and strengths. Together, we’ll explore how to manage overwhelm, set healthy boundaries, and navigate life in a way that honors your sensitivity rather than works against 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.
