Shaelyn Cataldo
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-A, PMH-C
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. 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 In environments that do not understand them, they can become anxious, withdrawn, perfectionistic, or reactive.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.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a highly sensitive person myself, I understand how sensitivity can feel both overwhelming and deeply valuable. I use IFS, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to help clients manage overstimulation and shame while highlighting the strengths of empathy and awareness. Narrative and existential therapies further support meaning-making. My diagnostic training ensures accurate distinction between sensitivity, trauma, and neurodivergence, while I also use a sensory diet approach to help with regulation and self care.
