Alicia Stalker-Gallichio LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, SAP
At Alicia Stalker LMFT we understand that being a highly sensitive person (HSP) can come with unique challenges and profound gifts HSP's often experience the world in vivid detail experiencing emotions more intensely and processing stimuli at a deeper level. While this sensitivity can enrich your fie it can also lead to feigns of overwhelm, anxiety or social exhaustion. My therapy services provide a safe and nurturing environment whereto can explore your experience and develop strategies to navigate the complexities of your sensitivity.

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.

Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist working with highly sensitive people.
If you are a highly sensitive person, you likely register more than the people around you: shifts in tone, undercurrents in a room, the emotional weather of everyone present. That perceptiveness is real and often valuable, and it also means overstimulation arrives sooner, recovery takes longer, and you may have spent years being told you are too much or too easily affected.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we do not treat your sensitivity as a defect requiring management. What interests me is the meaning it has taken on: what you learned to do with feeling deeply, whom you learned to feel it for, and how much of your attention is spent monitoring others. That arrangement carries an unconscious logic worth understanding. In sessions there is time to slow down enough to notice your own experience, not just everyone else's.
If being highly sensitive has felt more like a burden than a capacity, I would be glad to talk.

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.
