Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you are highly sensitive, you may feel things deeply and get overwhelmed more easily by conflict, noise, or constant demands. We can treat sensitivity as a temperament, not a flaw, and work on practical ways to manage overstimulation. This often includes boundaries, nervous system regulation, and improving how you navigate relationships and stress so you can feel steadier without having to shut down who you are.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From one highly sensitive person to another, it can be a crazy world out there. Two things that I've found helpful:
1st, resiliency training: Although our bodies can react to things that other people might brush off, Somatic Experiencing can help build up our ability to settle our stress and activation levels. That party might still be uncomfortably loud, but it's more tolerable when you have confidence that you can quickly find comfort again once you leave.
2nd: Boundary training and asking for what you want: As we get better at knowing what would help us feel more comfortable, and better at asking for it, we can start to re-shape our environment to feel better. Then as we feel better, and as our loved ones know how to help us, we are more resourceful, more able to connect with others, and more able to be the people we want to be in the world.

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.

Marina Sud
Psychologist, PsyD, Certified in Brainspotting, Certification in Psychoanalysis
I help clients understand and embrace their heightened sensitivity as a unique strength rather than a burden. My work focuses on building emotional resilience, healthy boundaries, and self-acceptance while addressing overwhelm, anxiety, or burnout that often accompany high sensitivity. Together, we create a supportive path toward balance, confidence, and authentic self-expression—allowing sensitivity to become a source of insight, creativity, and connection.
