Becca Edwards
Therapist, LMSW, Ed.S., M.ed
Being highly sensitive can be both a strength and a source of overwhelm. I work with highly sensitive clients to better understand their emotional and sensory experiences, develop supportive ways to regulate their nervous systems, and recognize sensitivity as something to work with rather than something that needs to be fixed.

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.

Peter C. Jackson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
If you identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), you likely experience the world with exceptional depth, noticing details and subtleties that others might miss. While this brings rich insights and creativity, it can also lead to feeling drained, anxious, or overstimulated. I provide a supportive environment where we celebrate your unique nervous system and explore how to optimize your well-being. Our work focuses on building emotional resilience, creating nurturing practices, and developing personalized tools to navigate life's intensity, empowering you to thrive in your authenticity.

Online in Murfreesboro, TN (Online Only)
Murfreesboro is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee, a Rutherford County suburb of Nashville that has attracted families and young professionals drawn by more affordable housing than Nashville offers, and Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) brings a substantial student population that creates significant demand for young adult and academic mental health services. The city's rapid growth has outpaced the development of mental health infrastructure, and demand for private therapy has grown significantly as the population has expanded. Common therapy concerns include relocation and community-building stress, student and young adult mental health, relationship and family issues, and the anxiety of navigating a city in rapid and sometimes disorienting transformation. Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital and other Nashville-area resources are accessible to Murfreesboro residents for more intensive needs, and telehealth extends the reach of Nashville's larger therapy market.
