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.

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.

Michael Keigher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Being sensitive doesn’t mean you’re weak — it means you feel deeply, and that’s a strength. I help HSPs navigate overwhelm, set boundaries, and build lives that honor their sensitivity without constantly apologizing for it.

Subconscious Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht.
Being highly sensitive can make everyday experiences feel overwhelming or emotionally intense. Hypnotherapy helps manage overstimulation, strengthen emotional boundaries, and cultivate inner calm. Sessions support self-understanding, resilience, and a greater sense of balance in navigating daily life.
