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.

Brittany Ryan-Berzins
Psychologist, PhD
I work with highly sensitive individuals from a place of deep compassion and respect for the way they experience the world. Sensitivity can bring remarkable depth, intuition, empathy, and awareness, but it can also leave individuals feeling overwhelmed by emotions, relationships, expectations, or the intensity of everyday life. Rather than viewing sensitivity as something that needs to be fixed, I help clients understand and honor it as an inherent part of who they are while developing greater emotional regulation and resilience. Drawing from mindfulness, self-compassion, and cognitive behavioral therapy, we explore patterns of self-criticism, overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing that can develop when sensitive individuals feel they need to protect themselves or adapt to the needs of others. Together, we cultivate greater self-acceptance, healthy boundaries, and trust in one’s own inner experience. The goal is not to become less sensitive, but to feel more grounded and confident in your sensitivity—able to experience life deeply without becoming overwhelmed by it.

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.

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."
