Highly Sensitive Person
Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Being a highly sensitive person means you experience the world deeply—emotionally, mentally, and physically. Without the right tools, that can feel overwhelming or exhausting. I help you better understand your sensitivity, set boundaries, and navigate your environment in a way that feels more manageable and empowering.

Eric Tivers (ADHD reWired)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
As a highly sensitive and neurodivergent therapist, I understand what it’s like to feel deeply affected by the world around you — the sounds, the energy, the emotions in the room. Sensitivity isn’t a weakness; it’s a form of intelligence and attunement. But without the right boundaries and tools, it can lead to overwhelm, exhaustion, and self-criticism.
Many of the highly sensitive people I work with also have ADHD, autism, or both, which can intensify emotional and sensory experiences. In therapy, I help clients learn how to honor their sensitivity rather than fight it — exploring emotional regulation, sensory balance, and ways to protect your energy without shutting down your empathy. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed, helping you transform sensitivity from something that drains you into something that guides and grounds you.

Highly Sensitive Person
Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) experience the world with depth and intensity. Research suggests that about 15–20% of people are wired with a more sensitive nervous system, meaning they process emotions, sensory input, and social cues more deeply. This isn’t a flaw—it’s a temperament. But in a fast-paced, overstimulating world, high sensitivity can start to feel like “too much.” Many HSPs come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure how to separate what’s theirs from what they’re absorbing from others.
In my work with highly sensitive clients, I offer a calm, grounding space where sensitivity is understood as a strength that simply needs support. Together, we focus on regulating overwhelm, setting boundaries that actually stick, and learning how to honor your sensitivity without apologizing for it. Therapy becomes a place to build confidence in your inner experience, trust your intuition, and create a life that feels nourishing rather than exhausting—one where your sensitivity works for you, not against you.
