Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
High sensitivity is a neurological trait, not a flaw, and I help HSPs understand and embrace their unique way of processing the world. My work focuses on developing strategies to manage overstimulation and emotional intensity while honoring the depth, empathy, and creativity that sensitivity brings. Together we'll transform what may have felt like a burden into one of your greatest strengths.

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.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Being a highly sensitive person can be a benefit, but can also make it hard to navigate relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with and work with your sensitivities and get more of what you want from life. You can understand what you can and can't control, and if any of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

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.

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.
