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.

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.

If you tend to feel emotions deeply, absorb the energy of crowded rooms, or quickly experience sensory and emotional overload, you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). At Gemstone Wellness, we help HSPs stop viewing their sensitivity as a flaw and start understanding it as a finely tuned nervous system. We work with you to set firm energetic boundaries, manage environmental overstimulation, process deep emotional experiences, and protect your energy without isolating. In-person therapy in the Chicago Loop and telehealth across Illinois are available, in-network with BCBS PPO, Aetna PPO, and Curative Health.

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.

Jenna Wonish-Mottin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RPT
I have training and experience with tailoring therapy to HSPs. As a Highly Sensitive Person myself, I can understand the strengths, challenges, and needs of my HSP clients. In therapy with me, I can help you to feel empowered to turn what seems overwhelming at times into something thriving and beautiful. Counseling for HSPs and HSCs may include discussions on having boundaries with others, using assertive communication when needed, finding the best skills to regulate emotions and nervous system responses, as well as identify and use sensitivity strengths as much as possible. Counseling with a Highly Sensitive Person and a Highly Sensitive Child can accommodate for more sensory comfort, depth of processing, collaboration, and validation.
