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.

Peter C. Jackson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
If you identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), you likely experience the world with exceptional depth, noticing details and subtleties that others might miss. While this brings rich insights and creativity, it can also lead to feeling drained, anxious, or overstimulated. I provide a supportive environment where we celebrate your unique nervous system and explore how to optimize your well-being. Our work focuses on building emotional resilience, creating nurturing practices, and developing personalized tools to navigate life's intensity, empowering you to thrive in your authenticity.

Rosa Martins - Rosa Martins Therapy
Life Coach, Systemic Therapist, Family Constellation Practitioner
Being highly sensitive is not a flaw — it's a way of experiencing the world at depth. But without the right support, it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. I work with highly sensitive clients to understand their nervous system, identify the emotional and ancestral patterns that amplify their experience, and develop tools — including HeartMath HRV biofeedback — to build resilience without losing the gift of their sensitivity.
