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.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be particularly beneficial for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) by helping them manage overwhelming emotions and sensory experiences. Through deep relaxation and guided visualization, hypnotherapists can assist HSPs in developing coping strategies for stressful situations and reducing anxiety. This therapeutic approach empowers individuals to reframe negative thought patterns, enhance emotional resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of self-acceptance, making daily life more manageable for those who feel acutely affected by their environment.

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.
