Catherine Quiring
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LCPC
I am a Highly Sensitive Person and enjoy working with others who have heightened sensitivity. We are extraordinary, but it can be difficult to be a sensitive person in a brash, harsh world. I can help you set energetic and emotional boundaries, develop detached empathy, and lay down any responsibility for others that isn't yours to carry.

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.

Highly Sensitive Person
Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with many individuals who identify as highly sensitive or have been told they are “too sensitive” throughout their lives.
Often, this sensitivity is closely connected to heightened awareness, emotional depth, and a tendency to take on the feelings and needs of others. For many, it also overlaps with patterns of hypervigilance, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries.
Rather than viewing sensitivity as something to fix, our work focuses on understanding it, regulating the nervous system, and learning how to navigate relationships and environments in a way that feels more balanced and supportive.
This allows you to move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more grounded, aware, and in control of your responses.

Marina Sud
Psychologist, PsyD, Certified in Brainspotting, Certification in Psychoanalysis
I help clients understand and embrace their heightened sensitivity as a unique strength rather than a burden. My work focuses on building emotional resilience, healthy boundaries, and self-acceptance while addressing overwhelm, anxiety, or burnout that often accompany high sensitivity. Together, we create a supportive path toward balance, confidence, and authentic self-expression—allowing sensitivity to become a source of insight, creativity, and connection.
