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.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) from a strengths-based, nervous system–informed perspective. High sensitivity is not a flaw or diagnosis—it reflects a deep capacity for awareness, empathy, and emotional processing. In a world that often rewards speed, productivity, and emotional numbing, HSPs can feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or chronically depleted.
In therapy, we focus on understanding your sensitivity, supporting regulation, and creating boundaries that honor your capacity rather than push against it. Our work may include exploring sensory overwhelm, emotional attunement, relational dynamics, and the impact of chronic stress or trauma on a sensitive nervous system. Therapy becomes a space to build self-trust, reduce shame, and develop sustainable ways of living and relating that allow your sensitivity to be a source of wisdom, connection, and resilience—not exhaustion.

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.
