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. 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."

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From one highly sensitive person to another, it can be a crazy world out there. Two things that I've found helpful:
1st, resiliency training: Although our bodies can react to things that other people might brush off, Somatic Experiencing can help build up our ability to settle our stress and activation levels. That party might still be uncomfortably loud, but it's more tolerable when you have confidence that you can quickly find comfort again once you leave.
2nd: Boundary training and asking for what you want: As we get better at knowing what would help us feel more comfortable, and better at asking for it, we can start to re-shape our environment to feel better. Then as we feel better, and as our loved ones know how to help us, we are more resourceful, more able to connect with others, and more able to be the people we want to be in the world.

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.
