Highly Sensitive Person
Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Being a highly sensitive person means you experience the world deeply—emotionally, mentally, and physically. Without the right tools, that can feel overwhelming or exhausting. I help you better understand your sensitivity, set boundaries, and navigate your environment in a way that feels more manageable and empowering.

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.

Fernanda Cutrone Krumm, LPC/LCPC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (AL), LCPC (IL), LMHC (FL)
As a therapist who is also an HSP, I understand what it feels like to notice everything deeply — emotions, social cues, energy shifts — and sometimes feel overwhelmed by it all. I work with clients to manage intensity, protect their energy, and use sensitivity as a strength rather than a burden. Together, we develop practical strategies, grounding techniques, and ways to navigate life so that sensitivity becomes an asset instead of a liability. My approach is empathetic, real, and tailored to the unique experience of living life on a deeper wavelength.

Alyssa Lorenzo
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
You've probably been told you're "too sensitive" before. What if your sensitivity was instead treated as a strength? Let's partner together to create a more balanced narrative about your emotions.
