Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PsyA
A highly sensitive person is a client who needs a special approach to feel accepted and understood. I will work patiently and caringly with these clients in a way that serves them best, which may mean working with a prescribing provider as well.

Aranya Edmonds
Pre-Licensed Professional, LAMFT / LAC
I support highly sensitive individuals who experience emotions deeply and may feel overwhelmed by stress, environments, or relationships. Sensitivity is a strength, but it can also create emotional exhaustion. Therapy helps you develop emotional regulation, boundaries, and self-understanding so you can function with greater balance and confidence.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who feel and notice a lot. You might be deeply affected by others’ moods, small changes in tone, or the energy of a room. Loud noises, bright lights, busy schedules, or conflict may feel more overwhelming to you than to those around you. Many highly sensitive people grow up feeling “too much” or “too sensitive.”
As adults, this can look like needing more time to recover from social interactions or workdays; feeling easily overstimulated, wired, or shut down; taking on others’ feelings and struggling to find your own center; and being very conscientious, but also prone to burnout or self‑criticism.
Highly sensitive children and teens are often described as intense, dramatic, shy, or “overreactive.” They may have big feelings, strong empathy, vivid inner worlds, or a very thoughtful, observant way of moving through life. In environments that do not understand them, they can become anxious, withdrawn, perfectionistic, or reactive.
In our work together, we explore how your sensitivity shows up in your nervous system, relationships, and daily life. We look at what overwhelms you and what nourishes you so that sensitivity can become less of a constant struggle and more of a source of information, depth, and connection. When I work with children and teens, I also support parents in understanding their child’s sensitivity and responding in ways that feel more workable for everyone. Working with highly sensitive people is central to my practice, and I understand how much strength it takes to move through the world this way.
