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.

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.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you are highly sensitive, you may feel things deeply and get overwhelmed more easily by conflict, noise, or constant demands. We can treat sensitivity as a temperament, not a flaw, and work on practical ways to manage overstimulation. This often includes boundaries, nervous system regulation, and improving how you navigate relationships and stress so you can feel steadier without having to shut down who you are.
