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.

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.

Brittany Ryan-Berzins
Psychologist, PhD
I work with highly sensitive individuals from a place of deep compassion and respect for the way they experience the world. Sensitivity can bring remarkable depth, intuition, empathy, and awareness, but it can also leave individuals feeling overwhelmed by emotions, relationships, expectations, or the intensity of everyday life. Rather than viewing sensitivity as something that needs to be fixed, I help clients understand and honor it as an inherent part of who they are while developing greater emotional regulation and resilience. Drawing from mindfulness, self-compassion, and cognitive behavioral therapy, we explore patterns of self-criticism, overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing that can develop when sensitive individuals feel they need to protect themselves or adapt to the needs of others. Together, we cultivate greater self-acceptance, healthy boundaries, and trust in one’s own inner experience. The goal is not to become less sensitive, but to feel more grounded and confident in your sensitivity—able to experience life deeply without becoming overwhelmed by it.

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.
