Shaelyn Cataldo
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C, EMDRIA Certified Therapist™
Being highly sensitive or neurodiverse isn't something that needs to be fixed. I support individuals in understanding their unique ways of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world while reducing shame, unmasking, honoring their needs, and creating lives that feel more authentic, sustainable, and aligned with who they truly are.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with adults who identify as highly sensitive, helping them understand and navigate the intensity of their emotions, sensory experiences, and interpersonal interactions. I view sensitivity as a strength that can be supported and regulated, rather than a flaw, and I help clients develop strategies to honor their needs while managing overwhelm.
I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches to help clients regulate their nervous system, build resilience, and cultivate self-compassion. Together, we explore boundaries, coping strategies, and relational patterns to support well-being, emotional balance, and a deeper connection to themselves and others.

Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
When you experience the world deeply, environments, relationships, and emotions can sometimes feel overwhelming. Therapy can help you understand your sensitivity without treating it as something that needs to be fixed. We can explore boundaries, overstimulation, self-criticism, relationships, and ways to honor your needs while building a life that feels more manageable and authentic.

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.

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.
