Meghan Hanes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being highly sensitive is not a weakness, but it can feel overwhelming when you are constantly processing emotions, relationships, and environments deeply. Many highly sensitive individuals experience anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries. Together, we'll explore how your sensitivity has been shaped by your life experiences and gain a deeper understanding of the patterns that may be contributing to your current struggles. By learning to work with your sensitivity rather than against it, you can develop greater self-compassion, stronger boundaries, and a life that feels more balanced and sustainable.

Highly Sensitive Person
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.

Kelsey Williams, Cosmic Reflections
Pre-Licensed Professional, Professional Counselor Associate, Certified Meditation Teacher
I know firsthand what it's like to be a sensitive being living in a society that seems hellbent on toughness and tuning out. Most of us developed our high sensitivity because we grew up in social contexts where we were never met. Together we'll learn how to grieve this experience and process the emotions that come along with it, and how you can use your sensitive superpowers to empower yourself in and out of relationships.

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.

Portland has a strong therapy culture deeply intertwined with its progressive values, with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, trauma, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city's visible homelessness crisis and political tensions have contributed to significant community-level anxiety, and therapists here frequently address activist burnout, moral injury, and eco-anxiety alongside more traditional presenting concerns. Oregon Health & Science University provides major institutional mental health resources, complemented by a dense network of independent practitioners across the inner eastside, Hawthorne, and Northwest Portland. Oregon's relatively permissive telehealth laws make it particularly easy to access care from across the state.
