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. Maureen J Gallagher
Psychologist, PhD
As a Highly Sensitive Person, you may notice subtleties others miss, feel emotions deeply, and become easily overwhelmed by noise, conflict, or busy environments. This sensitivity is a natural trait that brings real gifts, including empathy, intuition, and a rich inner life. It can also leave the nervous system stretched thin, especially if you grew up feeling “too much” or misunderstood. Somatic work helps you recognize early signs of overwhelm in your body and build practical ways to settle and restore. Through embodied parts work, we gently explore the parts of you that learned to hide, people-please, or criticize your sensitivity, and help them feel understood. Many clients come to appreciate their sensitivity as a strength and find more ease living in a world that often moves too fast.

Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
As a highly sensitive person, you feel emotions, stimulus, and stress so much more deeply than others. You don't need me to tell you that this can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt from the rigors of trying to fit into a world that is often simply way too intense. Hypnotherapy for highly sensitive people helps calm the nervous system and access the subconscious mind to create real, lasting relief. Through a gentle, evidence-based approach, you can strengthen your resilience, feel more hope, and find your way towards thriving even in a world that sometimes feels like too much.

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.
