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.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a highly sensitive person myself, I understand how sensitivity can feel both overwhelming and deeply valuable. I use IFS, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to help clients manage overstimulation and shame while highlighting the strengths of empathy and awareness. Narrative and existential therapies further support meaning-making. My diagnostic training ensures accurate distinction between sensitivity, trauma, and neurodivergence, while I also use a sensory diet approach to help with regulation and self care.

April Bieber
Licensed Professional Counselor, CMHC, CPC, LCPC, LMHC, LPC, LPC-MHS, QS (FL)
If you feel everything deeply, you’re not “too much” — you’re wired differently. I help highly sensitive people navigate overwhelm, protect their energy, and turn sensitivity into a strength.

Dr. Lois Horowitz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
Psychotherapy and EMDR can help you to validate your own feelings and experience. This involves recognizing and accepting your emotions without judgment and understanding that your reactions are legitimate, especially in the context of abusive dynamics.
