Highly Sensitive Person
Christina Fay, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Being a Highly Sensitive Person is more common place than people believe. While it is not a diagnosis, it can be a way a person processes information or response to the world around them. Much like other treatments, working to better understand yourself, thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations can help slow down and make intentional choices in response to each. The focus is always to remain yourself and the person you want to be, to this point, we work on ensuring you show live life with intention and are able to move towards a positive quality of life.

The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP): Navigating a High-Definition World
From Sensory Overwhelm to Strategic Depth
About 20% of the population is born with a nervous system that processes information more deeply than others. While the world often labels this as being "too sensitive," in my practice, we recognize this as Sensory Processing Sensitivity—a trait that brings incredible empathy, creativity, and intuition, but also a higher risk for burnout and overwhelm.
The Challenges of the "Deep Processor"
Living as an HSP in a neurotypical, fast-paced society can feel like your "volume" is permanently turned up. We work together to navigate:
Emotional Overwhelm: Learning to distinguish between your own emotions and the "emotional residue" you pick up from others in the room.
Sensory Meltdowns & Shut Downs: Identifying the environmental triggers—loud noises, bright lights, or chaotic social systems—that lead to systemic exhaustion.
Rejection Sensitivity: Addressing the deep, often painful way that HSPs process social cues and perceived criticism.
The HSP Professional: Healers, Pastors, and Creatives
I have a "special love" for working with highly sensitive healers. Your sensitivity is likely what makes you an incredible therapist, pastor, or leader, but it is also what makes you susceptible to secondary trauma. We use a Systems Theory approach to:
Architect Your Environment: Creating "sensory-safe" professional and personal spaces that allow your nervous system to rest.
Attachment & Boundaries: Moving away from the "people-pleasing" often used as a safety strategy, toward a grounded, authentic way of relating to others.
EMDR for Overstimulation: Using EMDR to process past moments of "sensory trauma" or times when you were shamed for your sensitivity.
Honoring Your High-Definition Lens
With over 20 years of experience, I am here to help you stop apologizing for your depth and start honoring it. You don't need to "toughen up"; you need to develop the strategies that allow your sensitive system to flourish.
Your sensitivity is not a flaw in the system—it is a different, more intricate way of being human.

Highly Sensitive Person
Sara Lytle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MDiv
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with great depth, awareness, and emotional attunement—but may also feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, or misunderstood. I work with sensitive individuals to better understand their nervous systems, develop supportive boundaries, and cultivate self-trust. Therapy offers a space to reframe sensitivity as a strength, while gently addressing stress, self-criticism, and emotional overload.

Highly Sensitive Person
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with great emotional depth and intensity. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to help sensitive individuals develop emotional boundaries, nervous system regulation, and self-trust. This process supports sensitivity as a strength rather than a source of overwhelm.
