Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
People who experience emotions, relationships, sensory input, or interpersonal tension intensely are often told they are “too sensitive.” I offer a neurodiversity-affirming space to understand sensitivity without automatically pathologizing it, while developing boundaries, regulation strategies, and greater trust in your perceptions and needs.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with great emotional depth and intensity. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to help sensitive individuals develop emotional boundaries, nervous system regulation, and self-trust. This process supports sensitivity as a strength rather than a source of overwhelm.

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.

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.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a highly sensitive person myself, I understand how sensitivity can feel both overwhelming and deeply valuable. I use IFS, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to help clients manage overstimulation and shame while highlighting the strengths of empathy and awareness. Narrative and existential therapies further support meaning-making. My diagnostic training ensures accurate distinction between sensitivity, trauma, and neurodivergence, while I also use a sensory diet approach to help with regulation and self care.
