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.

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.
