Highly Sensitive Person
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many highly sensitive people have spent their lives being told they are “too much” or “too sensitive.” In our work together, we reframe sensitivity as a nervous system trait rather than a flaw. We focus on emotional regulation, boundaries, overstimulation, relationships, and learning how to build a life that supports your sensitivity instead of overwhelming it.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
If you’ve ever been told you’re too sensitive, too emotional, or need to toughen up, you’re not alone. I specialize in working with highly sensitive people who feel deeply impacted by their environment, emotions, or relationships. Together we use somatic therapy and creative tools to help you understand your sensitivity as a strength and build nervous system regulation so you can move through the world with more ease.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Being highly sensitive can mean feeling deeply affected by relationships, stress, criticism, or the emotional tone around you. Therapy can help you better understand your sensitivity, reduce overwhelm, and respond to your emotions in ways that feel both effective and self-validating.
