HSP
Jan Yomogida
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Being a highly sensitive person can be a blessing and a curse at the same time. There are so many wonderful traits that come with being a sensitive person; however, it can also come with feeling emotional pain, worry, guilt, shame, or loneliness.

Dr. Jessica De Leon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Being highly sensitive can mean experiencing emotions, relationships, environments, and sensory experiences with greater depth and intensity. Rather than viewing sensitivity as something that needs to be "fixed," therapy can help you understand your sensitivity, establish healthy boundaries, manage overwhelm, and recognize the strengths that can come with being deeply perceptive and attuned.

Tal Brafford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC-A
From one highly sensitive person to another...I get it. The world is too loud, too bright, too itchy, too "everything." Growing up this way can be so isolating and lonely. It tears apart self-trust and reinforces masking. We often lose sight of who we are and what we need to focus on the needs and comfort of others. I will walk with you as you discover what's underneath the mask. Sometimes this means learning about your capacity or bringing in support systems. Other times, we may work on boundaries and listening to your body tell you what it needs. It's almost always sitting with you in the grief of feeling different, which I feel honored to do.

Christopher McDowell, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I often treat highly sensitive individuals. This treatment process includes learning how to manage these daily feelings, but also learning about how high sensitivity can be utilized as a positive tool in daily life.

The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP): Navigating a High-Definition World
From Sensory Overwhelm to Strategic Depth
About 20% of the population is born with a nervous system that processes information more deeply than others. While the world often labels this as being "too sensitive," in my practice, we recognize this as Sensory Processing Sensitivity—a trait that brings incredible empathy, creativity, and intuition, but also a higher risk for burnout and overwhelm.
The Challenges of the "Deep Processor"
Living as an HSP in a neurotypical, fast-paced society can feel like your "volume" is permanently turned up. We work together to navigate:
Emotional Overwhelm: Learning to distinguish between your own emotions and the "emotional residue" you pick up from others in the room.
Sensory Meltdowns & Shut Downs: Identifying the environmental triggers—loud noises, bright lights, or chaotic social systems—that lead to systemic exhaustion.
Rejection Sensitivity: Addressing the deep, often painful way that HSPs process social cues and perceived criticism.
The HSP Professional: Healers, Pastors, and Creatives
I have a "special love" for working with highly sensitive healers. Your sensitivity is likely what makes you an incredible therapist, pastor, or leader, but it is also what makes you susceptible to secondary trauma. We use a Systems Theory approach to:
Architect Your Environment: Creating "sensory-safe" professional and personal spaces that allow your nervous system to rest.
Attachment & Boundaries: Moving away from the "people-pleasing" often used as a safety strategy, toward a grounded, authentic way of relating to others.
EMDR for Overstimulation: Using EMDR to process past moments of "sensory trauma" or times when you were shamed for your sensitivity.
Honoring Your High-Definition Lens
With over 20 years of experience, I am here to help you stop apologizing for your depth and start honoring it. You don't need to "toughen up"; you need to develop the strategies that allow your sensitive system to flourish.
Your sensitivity is not a flaw in the system—it is a different, more intricate way of being human.
