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.

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. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you turn down lights, pick clothes by how they feel, have trouble staying places with strong smells, or wish you could turn down the volume everywhere you go? Does it seem like you feel every emotion more quickly and intensely than others? Do you know what others around you are feeling before they even seem to know themselves? It is exhausting to feel like every sensation and every emotion is raw and open, and can make navigating relationships and boundaries challenging. With understanding and compassion we can work together to help you understand your sensitivity, manage overwhelm, and build confidence while honoring your unique strengths and needs.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
