Open Hearted Holistic Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with a lot of people who identify as highly sensitive, intuitive, empathic and neurodivergent. And giving energy and attention to our sensory (and extrasensory) needs is an extremely important part of the work that I do.

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.

We provide supportive, individualized psychotherapy for highly sensitive and empathic adults who may feel deeply affected by emotions, environments, and interpersonal dynamics. Our approach helps clients better understand their sensitivity as a strength while also addressing challenges such as emotional overwhelm, boundary-setting, stress reactivity, and burnout. Through evidence-based strategies and a validating therapeutic space, we work with clients to develop regulation skills, strengthen resilience, and create balanced ways of engaging with the world that honor both sensitivity and well-being.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with highly sensitive individuals who tend to feel things deeply, think deeply, and often become overwhelmed by the intensity of their internal and external experiences. Being highly sensitive is not a weakness—it’s a trait that, when understood, can become a strength. Together, we focus on helping you regulate overstimulation, set boundaries without guilt, and navigate relationships and environments in a way that feels more sustainable. My approach combines practical tools with mind-body awareness, supporting you in feeling more grounded, confident, and able to move through life without constant overwhelm.

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.
