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.

Sanela Solak
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Have you been told that your feelings are too much, that you are too sensitive or too emotional, or that you need to tone yourself down so others can feel comfortable? If so, you are not alone.
Many of us are deeply feeling people—highly attuned to others, to ourselves, to our environment, to nature, and to the more ineffable aspects of life. This sensitivity is a profound gift. And yet, our feelings are often treated as a threat or an inconvenience, which can create deep wounds, especially when we were young and depended on connection in order to feel safe and secure.
As a result, we may learn to distrust our feelings and suppress them in order to belong, stay safe, and appear “normal.” But when we disconnect from such deep parts of ourselves, we do not only suppress pain—we also suppress our joy, our love, and our aliveness. Over time, this disconnection can show up in many ways: depression, anxiety, difficulty focusing, numbing through habits or substances, physical or emotional pain, a loss of meaning, unfulfilling relationships, or a general sense of not feeling fully alive.
The answer was never to cut off or suppress these parts of yourself. The answer is to create space—to witness and be witnessed, to allow what is present, and to restore flow. You are so much more than a dimmed-down version of yourself. You are a gift to this world, and your sensitivity carries gifts the world deeply needs.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I support highly sensitive people in navigating a world that can often feel overwhelming. Together, we create a gentle, grounded space to explore emotions, build resilience, and honor sensitivity as a strength rather than a flaw. My approach is validating, empowering, and attuned to the depth and nuance that sensitivity brings.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who feel and notice a lot. You might be deeply affected by others’ moods, small changes in tone, or the energy of a room. Loud noises, bright lights, busy schedules, or conflict may feel more overwhelming to you than to those around you. Many highly sensitive people grow up feeling “too much” or “too sensitive.”
As adults, this can look like needing more time to recover from social interactions or workdays; feeling easily overstimulated, wired, or shut down; taking on others’ feelings and struggling to find your own center; and being very conscientious, but also prone to burnout or self‑criticism.
Highly sensitive children and teens are often described as intense, dramatic, shy, or “overreactive.” They may have big feelings, strong empathy, vivid inner worlds, or a very thoughtful, observant way of moving through life. In environments that do not understand them, they can become anxious, withdrawn, perfectionistic, or reactive.
In our work together, we explore how your sensitivity shows up in your nervous system, relationships, and daily life. We look at what overwhelms you and what nourishes you so that sensitivity can become less of a constant struggle and more of a source of information, depth, and connection. When I work with children and teens, I also support parents in understanding their child’s sensitivity and responding in ways that feel more workable for everyone. Working with highly sensitive people is central to my practice, and I understand how much strength it takes to move through the world this way.
