Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you turn down lights, pick clothes by how they feel, have trouble staying places with strong smells, or wish you could turn down the volume everywhere you go? Does it seem like you feel every emotion more quickly and intensely than others? Do you know what others around you are feeling before they even seem to know themselves? It is exhausting to feel like every sensation and every emotion is raw and open, and can make navigating relationships and boundaries challenging. With understanding and compassion we can work together to help you understand your sensitivity, manage overwhelm, and build confidence while honoring your unique strengths and needs.

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.

Alicia Stalker-Gallichio LMFT

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.

Marina Sud
Psychologist, PsyD, Certified in Brainspotting, Certification in Psychoanalysis
I help clients understand and embrace their heightened sensitivity as a unique strength rather than a burden. My work focuses on building emotional resilience, healthy boundaries, and self-acceptance while addressing overwhelm, anxiety, or burnout that often accompany high sensitivity. Together, we create a supportive path toward balance, confidence, and authentic self-expression—allowing sensitivity to become a source of insight, creativity, and connection.
