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.

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.

Soma Aloia, SolDance Therapy & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, CYT, OrdM
"Adverse imprinting results from any event or events that overwhelms us on a spiritual, psychological, physiological, and/or structural level. Until resolved, adverse imprinting will impact the baby, child, and adult on all levels throughout life" (Myrna Martin, et al). Behaviors arise from adverse imprinting to manage trauma, and do not come from our primary self, our original authenticity. Life becomes more and more difficult, illness arises, "flow" stops. All of our work together addresses this from a foundation of Health, and is a process of building resiliency - the nervous system's ability to handle stressful events that inevitably are part of life. A capacity that comes from our authentic nature, from more joy, heart, and presence, instead of detrimental imprints - imprints that were once necessary and helpful but now may be harmful to your life. Your work with me, or your child's, creates secure attachment and safety regardless of a turbulent world.
I also offer environmental illness/mold recovery consultations and treatment using integrative functional health & nutrition therapies. My specialty here involves Microbiome recovery and resilience.

Clare Campbell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I provide intensive psychotherapy for individuals navigating anxiety and the emotional toll of persistent stress. I offer telehealth sessions to clients across the United States, as well as in-person appointments in Darien, Connecticut. My approach is highly individualized, grounded in the belief that meaningful change arises through a deeper understanding of one’s emotional life in the present moment. Together, we will work to uncover and shift long-standing patterns that may be interfering with your well-being, relationships, or sense of self. I aim to bring both compassion and challenge to our work—meeting you with respect, curiosity, and acceptance, while also encouraging growth toward a more authentic and connected version of yourself.
