Highly Sensitive Person
Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) experience the world with depth and intensity. Research suggests that about 15–20% of people are wired with a more sensitive nervous system, meaning they process emotions, sensory input, and social cues more deeply. This isn’t a flaw—it’s a temperament. But in a fast-paced, overstimulating world, high sensitivity can start to feel like “too much.” Many HSPs come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure how to separate what’s theirs from what they’re absorbing from others.
In my work with highly sensitive clients, I offer a calm, grounding space where sensitivity is understood as a strength that simply needs support. Together, we focus on regulating overwhelm, setting boundaries that actually stick, and learning how to honor your sensitivity without apologizing for it. Therapy becomes a place to build confidence in your inner experience, trust your intuition, and create a life that feels nourishing rather than exhausting—one where your sensitivity works for you, not against you.

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.

Highly Sensitive Person
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
Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you turn down lights, pick clothes by how they feel, have trouble staying places with strong smells, or wish you could turn down the volume everywhere you go? Does it seem like you feel every emotion more quickly and intensely than others? Do you know what others around you are feeling before they even seem to know themselves? It is exhausting to feel like every sensation and every emotion is raw and open, and can make navigating relationships and boundaries challenging. With understanding and compassion we can work together to help you understand your sensitivity, manage overwhelm, and build confidence while honoring your unique strengths and needs.
