Summer Hecht
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DSW, LCSW-C
I enjoy working with individuals who identify as Highly Sensitive. Oftentimes, HSPs are stuck in a world that feels harsh, loud, and overwhelming, and in our work together, we will identify strategies that will make the world feel more accessible and manageable.

Highly Sensitive Person
Washington Psychological Wellness
Counselor/Therapist
At Washington Psychological Wellness, we understand the unique experiences of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) — someone who feels emotions deeply, notices subtleties others may miss, and can become easily overwhelmed by stress or stimulation. Our therapists provide compassionate, tailored support to help HSPs embrace their sensitivity as a strength while learning tools to navigate the challenges it can bring.
We work with children, teens, and adults to build resilience, set healthy boundaries, manage overwhelm, and foster self-acceptance. Therapy can help you thrive in relationships, at work, and in daily life while honoring your authentic self.
If you identify as highly sensitive, we’re here to support you on your journey to greater balance, confidence, and well-being.

Highly Sensitive Person
Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
Being a Highly Sensitive Person comes with great gifts as well as some unique challenges. Researchers estimate that 20-30% of people (and many animal species) are more sensitively-wired. In fact, it's estimated that over 40% of people who reach out for therapy are highly sensitive. I specialize in working with HSPs and have for a number of years. Learning about Dr. Elaine Aron's research around HSPs was transformative for me personally and professionally. I find that HSP clients as well as parents raising HSP kids benefit from HSP-knowledgeable and -supportive therapy, using a gentle approach that identifies and validates the gifts and provides strategies for navigating the tricky parts (prone to overstimulation in overwhelming environments, people-pleasing, perfectionism, boundaries, difficulty with conflict, among others). HSPs are deep feelers, deep processors, have immense empathy for others, and naturally notice all the details of people and the places they are in.

Highly Sensitive Person
Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
When you and your spouse walk into a room, do you each pick up on dramatically different amounts of information? If one of you is highly sensitive, it may feel like you're living in fundamentally different worlds. I help couples bridge that gap so these differences in perception become a strength, not something that makes you feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

Highly Sensitive Person
Lauren, Simpson
Psychologist, Psy. D, LP, TIYT, CCTP-II
As a highly sensitive person (HSP) myself, I deeply understand the stigma associated with sensitivity in many Western cultures. I also recognize the vital importance of finding effective strategies to protect one's sensitivity in an often overstimulating world.
I genuinely believe that there is no such thing as being "too sensitive." Instead, the key is how we understand and nurture our sensitivity, allowing it to serve as the gift that it truly is. Sensitivity grants us access to greater creativity, compassion, and curiosity, enabling us to experience life with a deep connection to the world around us.
By healing the wounds caused by misguided stigma, you can begin to understand your unique personality in a positive and empowering context.
