Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Welcome, my highly sensitive sisters, empaths, introverts, and tender creatives! I'm here with (and for) you. When we can't change the environment around us, we can cultivate skillfulness, practice self-compassion, and engage with nature as a place of refuge.

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.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with great emotional depth and intensity. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to help sensitive individuals develop emotional boundaries, nervous system regulation, and self-trust. This process supports sensitivity as a strength rather than a source of overwhelm.

Clare Campbell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I provide intensive psychotherapy for individuals navigating anxiety and the emotional toll of persistent stress. I offer telehealth sessions to clients across the United States, as well as in-person appointments in Darien, Connecticut. My approach is highly individualized, grounded in the belief that meaningful change arises through a deeper understanding of one’s emotional life in the present moment. Together, we will work to uncover and shift long-standing patterns that may be interfering with your well-being, relationships, or sense of self. I aim to bring both compassion and challenge to our work—meeting you with respect, curiosity, and acceptance, while also encouraging growth toward a more authentic and connected version of yourself.
