Debra Zand
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Being highly sensitive is not a flaw. It is your superpower. High sensitivity is a profound, inborn trait—not a clinical disorder. I will never try to change your sensitive nature; but instead will help you honor it. Highly sensitive people possess incredible empathy, deep intuition, and creative insight. I provide tailored therapy to help you thrive as your authentic, sensitive self. navigate overstimulation, set healthy boundaries, and transform emotional overwhelm into deep self-compassion.

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.

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.
