Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with many individuals who identify as highly sensitive or have been told they are “too sensitive” throughout their lives.
Often, this sensitivity is closely connected to heightened awareness, emotional depth, and a tendency to take on the feelings and needs of others. For many, it also overlaps with patterns of hypervigilance, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries.
Rather than viewing sensitivity as something to fix, our work focuses on understanding it, regulating the nervous system, and learning how to navigate relationships and environments in a way that feels more balanced and supportive.
This allows you to move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more grounded, aware, and in control of your responses.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
Being a highly sensitive person is NOT a weakness. You may feel emotions deeply, become overwhelmed more easily, or notice things that other people do not. I help highly sensitive individuals and couples better understand this unique quality. Together, we will learn how to work with your sensitivity instead of feeling controlled by it.

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.
