HSP
Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
When you and your spouse walk into a room, do you each pick up on dramatically different amounts of information? If one of you is highly sensitive, it may feel like you're living in fundamentally different worlds. I help couples bridge that gap so these differences in perception become a strength, not something that makes you feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with great emotional depth and intensity. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to help sensitive individuals develop emotional boundaries, nervous system regulation, and self-trust. This process supports sensitivity as a strength rather than a source of overwhelm.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From one highly sensitive person to another, it can be a crazy world out there. Two things that I've found helpful:
1st, resiliency training: Although our bodies can react to things that other people might brush off, Somatic Experiencing can help build up our ability to settle our stress and activation levels. That party might still be uncomfortably loud, but it's more tolerable when you have confidence that you can quickly find comfort again once you leave.
2nd: Boundary training and asking for what you want: As we get better at knowing what would help us feel more comfortable, and better at asking for it, we can start to re-shape our environment to feel better. Then as we feel better, and as our loved ones know how to help us, we are more resourceful, more able to connect with others, and more able to be the people we want to be in the world.

Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I believe in turning "too sensitive" into a superpower. I help clients reframe their deep processing, intense empathy, and awareness of subtleties as profound strengths rather than flaws.
Many HSPs navigate a world that feels too loud, fast-paced, or overwhelming, often struggling with anxiety, burnout, or people-pleasing. My goal is to create a safe, validating, and slow-paced therapeutic space where clients can:
Set firm boundaries to protect their energy and nervous system.
Harness their empathy without absorbing the emotions of others.
Build self-compassion and embrace their unique temperament.
I specialize in HSPs because when given the right tools, they thrive, turning their sensitivity into a source of deep joy, creativity, and meaningful connection.
