Together we explore how your sensitivity can leave you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood and drained, and also explore how sensitivity can be a strength.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with great emotional depth and intensity. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to help sensitive individuals develop emotional boundaries, nervous system regulation, and self-trust. This process supports sensitivity as a strength rather than a source of overwhelm.

Yourdeline Sertyl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Being highly sensitive can feel overwhelming in a fast-paced world. You may absorb others’ emotions, overanalyze interactions, or feel easily overstimulated. Therapy focuses on helping you understand your nervous system, develop emotional regulation skills, and create boundaries that protect your energy without losing your empathy and depth.

Christopher McDowell, PsyD

I often treat highly sensitive individuals. This treatment process includes learning how to manage these daily feelings, but also learning about how high sensitivity can be utilized as a positive tool in daily life.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
High sensitivity is a finely tuned way of taking in the world; it's not a flaw or weakness at all. Highly sensitive people experience emotions, relationships, and environments with unusual depth and intensity. In analytic work, we explore how this sensitivity has been shaped by early experiences and how it can become a source of strength rather than overwhelm, allowing for greater steadiness, meaning, and self-trust over time.
