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.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You notice everything. The way someone’s tone doesn’t match their words. The shift in a room when tension walks in. The beauty in small, fleeting things most people rush past. You feel deeply, love fiercely, and carry more than anyone realizes—because from the outside, you probably seem composed, capable, even unshakeable.
But inside? It’s a different story. Loud noises feel like an ambush. Crowded schedules leave you overstimulated and drained. Criticism—especially from yourself—lingers far longer than you’d like. Maybe you’ve spent years wondering why things seem to hit you harder, why you can’t just “let it go,” or why rest never feels like enough.
Dr. Jenny Shields sees you. She understands what it’s like to live in a world that’s too fast, too harsh, too loud—and to feel like you’re too much for it. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and compassion-based work, she helps sensitive souls turn down the inner noise, set boundaries that protect their peace, and reclaim their sensitivity as the strength it truly is. You don’t need to toughen up. You need space to be exactly who you are—and to learn how to thrive because of your sensitivity, not in spite of it.
