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.

Alyssa Lorenzo
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
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.

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.

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.

Tina Mavalankar
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Highly sensitive clients often come into therapy feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or criticized for traits that are actually sources of depth, creativity, and intuition. In my work with highly sensitive people (HSPs), I offer a compassionate, structured approach that helps clients understand their nervous system, regulate intense emotions, build boundaries, and reframe sensitivity as a strength rather than a flaw. I integrate evidence-based strategies from CBT, mindfulness, and emotion-focused therapy while moving at a pace that feels safe and collaborative. As someone who identifies as highly sensitive myself, I bring both professional training and lived understanding to the work—creating a space where clients can feel genuinely seen, validated, and supported while learning practical tools to thrive in relationships, work, and daily life.

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.
