Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) from a strengths-based, nervous system–informed perspective. High sensitivity is not a flaw or diagnosis—it reflects a deep capacity for awareness, empathy, and emotional processing. In a world that often rewards speed, productivity, and emotional numbing, HSPs can feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or chronically depleted.
In therapy, we focus on understanding your sensitivity, supporting regulation, and creating boundaries that honor your capacity rather than push against it. Our work may include exploring sensory overwhelm, emotional attunement, relational dynamics, and the impact of chronic stress or trauma on a sensitive nervous system. Therapy becomes a space to build self-trust, reduce shame, and develop sustainable ways of living and relating that allow your sensitivity to be a source of wisdom, connection, and resilience—not exhaustion.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be particularly beneficial for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) by helping them manage overwhelming emotions and sensory experiences. Through deep relaxation and guided visualization, hypnotherapists can assist HSPs in developing coping strategies for stressful situations and reducing anxiety. This therapeutic approach empowers individuals to reframe negative thought patterns, enhance emotional resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of self-acceptance, making daily life more manageable for those who feel acutely affected by their environment.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you turn down lights, pick clothes by how they feel, have trouble staying places with strong smells, or wish you could turn down the volume everywhere you go? Does it seem like you feel every emotion more quickly and intensely than others? Do you know what others around you are feeling before they even seem to know themselves? It is exhausting to feel like every sensation and every emotion is raw and open, and can make navigating relationships and boundaries challenging. With understanding and compassion we can work together to help you understand your sensitivity, manage overwhelm, and build confidence while honoring your unique strengths and needs.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From one highly sensitive person to another, it can be a crazy world out there. Two things that I've found helpful:
1st, resiliency training: Although our bodies can react to things that other people might brush off, Somatic Experiencing can help build up our ability to settle our stress and activation levels. That party might still be uncomfortably loud, but it's more tolerable when you have confidence that you can quickly find comfort again once you leave.
2nd: Boundary training and asking for what you want: As we get better at knowing what would help us feel more comfortable, and better at asking for it, we can start to re-shape our environment to feel better. Then as we feel better, and as our loved ones know how to help us, we are more resourceful, more able to connect with others, and more able to be the people we want to be in the world.
