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.

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.

Michelle Borunda
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If you feel things more intensely or get overwhelmed more easily than people around you, I help you understand sensitivity as a trait to work with, not a flaw to manage, so it stops feeling like something you constantly have to apologize for.

Heather Curry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
People who identify as highly sensitive often notice and process more than others around them. You may pick up on subtle emotional shifts, feel overwhelmed in busy environments, or need more recovery time after social interactions. Over time, this sensitivity can start to feel like a flaw rather than a trait, especially if you’ve been told you are “too much,” “too emotional,” or “overthinking.”
In therapy, we don’t try to remove sensitivity. Instead, we help your nervous system feel less constantly overstimulated and develop boundaries that don’t require shutting yourself down. Sensitivity can become more manageable when your system no longer stays on alert and you no longer have to analyze everything to stay safe.

College Station is home to Texas A&M University, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, and the city's identity and mental health landscape are defined almost entirely by Aggie culture—the intense school spirit, Corps of Cadets traditions, and the social and academic pressures of a large flagship university in a relatively isolated college town in the Brazos Valley. Texas A&M's student counseling services are a primary resource, but demand consistently outpaces capacity at a university of this scale, and private therapists in the Bryan-College Station area serve both student and community populations. The conservative character and Aggie culture's emphasis on strength and tradition can create barriers to mental health help-seeking, particularly for men and members of the Corps. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic pressure, identity development, anxiety, depression, and the social dynamics of a community where university affiliation shapes nearly every aspect of life.
