Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or an empath or healer/helper, you know how the world can be overwhelming and overstimulating. I help clients learn how to honor their empathy, protect their sensitivity, and turn it into a superpower.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You notice everything. The way someone’s tone doesn’t match their words. The shift in a room when tension walks in. The beauty in small, fleeting things most people rush past. You feel deeply, love fiercely, and carry more than anyone realizes—because from the outside, you probably seem composed, capable, even unshakeable.
But inside? It’s a different story. Loud noises feel like an ambush. Crowded schedules leave you overstimulated and drained. Criticism—especially from yourself—lingers far longer than you’d like. Maybe you’ve spent years wondering why things seem to hit you harder, why you can’t just “let it go,” or why rest never feels like enough.
Dr. Jenny Shields sees you. She understands what it’s like to live in a world that’s too fast, too harsh, too loud—and to feel like you’re too much for it. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and compassion-based work, she helps sensitive souls turn down the inner noise, set boundaries that protect their peace, and reclaim their sensitivity as the strength it truly is. You don’t need to toughen up. You need space to be exactly who you are—and to learn how to thrive because of your sensitivity, not in spite of it.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics, Holistic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, CYT
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with remarkable depth while also becoming more vulnerable to emotional overwhelm. Therapy helps you understand your sensitivity, strengthen regulation, and transform sensitivity into one of your greatest strengths.
I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.
Sensitivity is not a weakness to overcome. When understood and supported, it can become a source of insight, creativity, compassion, and resilience. Together we'll help you thrive without feeling overwhelmed by the world around you.

Debra Zand
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Being highly sensitive is not a flaw. It is your superpower. High sensitivity is a profound, inborn trait—not a clinical disorder. I will never try to change your sensitive nature; but instead will help you honor it. Highly sensitive people possess incredible empathy, deep intuition, and creative insight. I provide tailored therapy to help you thrive as your authentic, sensitive self. navigate overstimulation, set healthy boundaries, and transform emotional overwhelm into deep self-compassion.

Dr. Jessica De Leon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Being highly sensitive can mean experiencing emotions, relationships, environments, and sensory experiences with greater depth and intensity. Rather than viewing sensitivity as something that needs to be "fixed," therapy can help you understand your sensitivity, establish healthy boundaries, manage overwhelm, and recognize the strengths that can come with being deeply perceptive and attuned.
