Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
I don't think sensitivity is a flaw to manage away - I think it's one of the richest parts of being human, and often the exact thing that makes deep connection possible. If you were told growing up that you were too sensitive or too much, we work on understanding that your sensitivity was never the problem. The environment around it was.

Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
A Highly Sensitive Person is someone who feels deeply. If you consider yourself a HSP, you may experience emotions on a deep level, have heightened sensitivity to certain sights, sounds, smells, and textures. This can also mean you feel things deeply in relationships with others, and are often influenced by the emotions of others. Therapy can be helpful in learning more about this superpower, without it overwhelming you.

Brian McCormack (Connemara Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A/LMHCA
I provide support for highly sensitive individuals, helping clients better understand and navigate heightened emotional and sensory responsiveness. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and emotional regulation skills, I support clients in managing overwhelm, setting healthy boundaries, and reducing stress reactivity. My work focuses on reframing sensitivity as a strength, fostering self-awareness, and building practical strategies that allow clients to thrive with greater confidence, balance, and resilience in both personal and professional environments.

Samia Geraghty
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
High sensitivity is a distinct, innate neurobiological trait found in about 20% of the population, not a flaw or a diagnosis to be fixed. As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), your brain processes information, emotions, and sensory inputs much more deeply than others. While this trait grants you deep empathy, vivid creativity, and a rich inner life, it can also leave you feeling easily overwhelmed by bright lights, loud noises, busy schedules, and the emotional energy of the people around you. In a world that often demands you to "toughen up," it is easy to internalize the belief that you are simply too fragile or misunderstood. As someone who is highly sensitive I can relate personally and strive to offer a validating space designed to help you thrive in an overwhelming world. Together, we will work to shift your perspective from feeling burdened by your sensitivity to honoring it as a profound strength. You will learn practical strategies to protect your energy, manage sensory overload, and set firm boundaries without guilt, allowing you to navigate life with confidence and peace.
