Highly Sensitive Person
Kelsey Grant
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHCA
Being highly sensitive often means parts of you have been absorbing and managing more than most people realize — others' emotions, subtle shifts in the room, the weight of things left unsaid. That's not a weakness. But it can mean your system is working overtime. I help highly sensitive clients understand which parts are carrying the load and create more space between what you feel and how you respond.

Highly Sensitive Person
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) is often mislabeled as a problem—something to fix, tone down, or outgrow. You may have been called “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or made to feel like your reactions are excessive, when in reality, you’re responding to a world that is overwhelming, inconsistent, and at times, harmful. Sensitivity isn’t the issue—how it’s been treated often is. In many spaces, especially those shaped by rigid ideas of strength, productivity, or emotional control, sensitivity gets dismissed or pathologized instead of understood.
For many people, this depth of sensitivity overlaps with forms of neurodivergence—like ADHD, autism, or giftedness—where sensory input, emotional processing, and awareness of your environment are heightened and constant. Without the right support, that can turn into chronic overwhelm, burnout, or feeling like you have to shrink yourself just to function.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t ask you to become less sensitive. We help you become more supported. We work with you to understand how your nervous system operates, what actually overwhelms you (and why), and how to move through your life with more intention and protection. That includes building boundaries that hold, reducing overstimulation, shifting environments where possible, and unlearning the idea that your sensitivity is a weakness. We also name the cultural narratives that taught you that in the first place. This work is about reclaiming your sensitivity as something that can be grounded, informed, and sustainable—without abandoning yourself to fit into spaces that were never built with you in mind.

Highly Sensitive Person
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who feel and notice a lot. You might be deeply affected by others’ moods, small changes in tone, or the energy of a room. Loud noises, bright lights, busy schedules, or conflict may feel more overwhelming to you than to those around you. Many highly sensitive people grow up feeling “too much” or “too sensitive.”
As adults, this can look like needing more time to recover from social interactions or workdays; feeling easily overstimulated, wired, or shut down; taking on others’ feelings and struggling to find your own center; and being very conscientious, but also prone to burnout or self‑criticism.
Highly sensitive children and teens are often described as intense, dramatic, shy, or “overreactive.” They may have big feelings, strong empathy, vivid inner worlds, or a very thoughtful, observant way of moving through life. In environments that do not understand them, they can become anxious, withdrawn, perfectionistic, or reactive.
In our work together, we explore how your sensitivity shows up in your nervous system, relationships, and daily life. We look at what overwhelms you and what nourishes you so that sensitivity can become less of a constant struggle and more of a source of information, depth, and connection. When I work with children and teens, I also support parents in understanding their child’s sensitivity and responding in ways that feel more workable for everyone. Working with highly sensitive people is central to my practice, and I understand how much strength it takes to move through the world this way.
