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.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I am well versed in treating highly sensitive people and am surrounded by them both personally and professionally. Whether it's having a heightened sensory experience of the world, or living with intense emotions, or both, I have a number of tools and approaches to work with you to set healthy boundaries for yourself, find your own sense of balance, and also learn to manage more sensory input over time if needed. I take a strengths-based approach here, respecting and celebrating your unique neurophysiology and helping you learn to work with what you've got in a way that is most conducive to feeling good in your life.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with highly sensitive people, I start by getting to know your unique internal landscape—your sensory experiences, emotional responses, and how sensitivity shows up in your daily life. Together, we explore how your system moves through the world, and how environments not designed for sensitivity can lead to overwhelm. I work to normalize and contextualize these experiences, highlighting the strength in sensitivity while also acknowledging the need for support and maintenance.
Our work focuses on helping you better understand and care for your system, especially during moments when your capacity feels limited. We build strategies that are sustainable and compassionate—rooted in somatic awareness, parts work, and self-understanding—so you can move through the world in a way that honors your sensitivity rather than working against it.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, 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.

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.
