Some people experience emotions, sensory experiences, and interpersonal situations with particular intensity. Therapy can help you better understand your sensitivity, manage feeling overwhelmed, and develop ways to use your sensitivity as a strength rather than feeling controlled by it.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I have found that these early experiences often impact how clients have learned to operate and survive in relationships. Many have learned to be hypervigilant and highly attuned to the needs, emotions and experiences of others in order to survive. They may also feel their feelings deeply, and struggle with others who experience them as "too sensitive."

We understand the unique needs of Highly Sensitive People (HSPs). Being highly sensitive is not a diagnosis—it's a temperament trait found in approximately 15–20% of the population. HSPs often experience life with greater emotional depth, heightened empathy, and increased responsiveness to both internal and external stimuli.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Being a Highly Sensitive Person can feel like both a gift and a challenge. You might notice things others miss, feel emotions deeply, or become overwhelmed by noise, conflict, or fast-paced environments. While sensitivity is a natural and valuable trait, it can sometimes leave you feeling drained, misunderstood, or like you’re “too much.” Together we’ll explore how your sensitivity shows up in your life and help you build tools to manage overstimulation, set healthier boundaries, and care for your emotional and physical needs without guilt. We’ll create a way of living that supports your nervous system, honors your needs, and allows your sensitivity to feel like an asset rather than a burden.
