Finding Peace of the Poconos LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
We understand the unique needs of Highly Sensitive People (HSPs). Being highly sensitive is not a diagnosis—it's a temperament trait found in approximately 15–20% of the population. HSPs often experience life with greater emotional depth, heightened empathy, and increased responsiveness to both internal and external stimuli.

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.

Sara Gillooly
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPCC
As a queer and AuDHD therapist myself, I have lived experience in learning how to live a life that feels more authentic and grounded. I specialize in working with queer, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults struggling with the impacts of trauma as well as feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult family relationships, and identity exploration. Ultimately, I'm not interested in "treating" your neurodivergence but I will support you wholeheartedly in navigating the complexities that come with it.
