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.

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 In environments that do not understand them, they can become anxious, withdrawn, perfectionistic, or reactive.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.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
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.
