Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) is often mislabeled as a problem—something to fix, tone down, or outgrow. You may have been called “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or made to feel like your reactions are excessive, when in reality, you’re responding to a world that is overwhelming, inconsistent, and at times, harmful. Sensitivity isn’t the issue—how it’s been treated often is. In many spaces, especially those shaped by rigid ideas of strength, productivity, or emotional control, sensitivity gets dismissed or pathologized instead of understood.
For many people, this depth of sensitivity overlaps with forms of neurodivergence—like ADHD, autism, or giftedness—where sensory input, emotional processing, and awareness of your environment are heightened and constant. Without the right support, that can turn into chronic overwhelm, burnout, or feeling like you have to shrink yourself just to function.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t ask you to become less sensitive. We help you become more supported. We work with you to understand how your nervous system operates, what actually overwhelms you (and why), and how to move through your life with more intention and protection. That includes building boundaries that hold, reducing overstimulation, shifting environments where possible, and unlearning the idea that your sensitivity is a weakness. We also name the cultural narratives that taught you that in the first place. This work is about reclaiming your sensitivity as something that can be grounded, informed, and sustainable—without abandoning yourself to fit into spaces that were never built with you in mind.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with highly sensitive individuals who tend to feel things deeply, think deeply, and often become overwhelmed by the intensity of their internal and external experiences. Being highly sensitive is not a weakness—it’s a trait that, when understood, can become a strength. Together, we focus on helping you regulate overstimulation, set boundaries without guilt, and navigate relationships and environments in a way that feels more sustainable. My approach combines practical tools with mind-body awareness, supporting you in feeling more grounded, confident, and able to move through life without constant overwhelm.

Jan Yomogida
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Being a highly sensitive person can be a blessing and a curse at the same time. There are so many wonderful traits that come with being a sensitive person; however, it can also come with feeling emotional pain, worry, guilt, shame, or loneliness.
