Lesley Lacny
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) can mean you experience emotions deeply, notice subtle shifts in your environment, and feel easily overstimulated by stress, conflict, or busy environments. While this sensitivity can be a strength, it can also feel overwhelming without the right support.
I provide therapy for highly sensitive individuals to help you better understand your emotional and nervous system responses. Together, we’ll explore how your sensitivity shows up in daily life, including what feels draining, what feels nourishing, and the deeper patterns that contribute to overwhelm.
The focus is on helping you regulate your system, set healthy boundaries, and work with your sensitivity in a way that supports clarity, resilience, and a greater sense of ease in your life.

When You Feel Everything Deeply
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or that you “care too much,” you may be what’s known as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) — someone whose nervous system is more finely tuned to the world around them. I understand this on a personal level — I’m an HSP myself. Being highly sensitive is not a flaw; it’s a temperament trait shared by about 20% of people. It means your mind and body process information and emotion more deeply. You notice subtleties, feel others’ moods, and reflect deeply — yet that same sensitivity can make life feel overwhelming, especially when faced with stress, criticism, or conflict.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you embrace sensitivity as a strength while learning tools to manage its challenges. Together, we’ll focus on:
Calming the inner critic that tells you you’re “too much”
Reducing anxiety and emotional exhaustion from overstimulation
Setting healthy boundaries without guilt
Building confidence to share your true self with others
Developing emotional tools that turn sensitivity into insight and intuition
Our work will be both structured and gentle — blending neuroscience, mindfulness, and humor to help you feel grounded, capable, and at peace in your own skin.
I BELIEVE:
Sensitivity is not weakness — it’s awareness, empathy, and depth.
You can be both strong and soft, confident and cautious, independent and deeply connected.
Boundaries are not walls; they’re invitations to authentic connection.
You deserve a life that feels calm, balanced, and safe for your sensitive nervous system.
Healing doesn’t mean hardening — it means learning to stay open without being overwhelmed.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Tycee Belcastro
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT, CSTIP
Have you ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too needy,” or “too particular”? If those words sting, you’re not alone—they’re often thrown at highly sensitive people like you. But here’s the truth: you’re not “too” anything. You’re beautifully, uniquely you. Your sensitivity isn’t a flaw; it’s a gift—a superpower that lets you feel and notice the world in vivid detail. It’s like having a finely tuned antenna, picking up on emotions, nuances, and beauty others might miss. Sure, it can feel heavy when others don’t get it, when you are overwhelmed with input, or when you struggle to embrace this part of yourself. But I’m here to help you see your sensitivity as strength. Together, we’ll explore ways to harness this gift, use it to enrich your life and relationships, and find deep self-acceptance. With warmth and practical tools, I’ll walk beside you as you turn your sensitivity into a source of confidence and connection. You’ve got this, and I’ve got you.

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.
