Allyson Eggleton with Beacon Therapy of Utah
Pre-Licensed Professional, CSW
I support individuals who identify as highly sensitive in understanding their emotional depth, reactivity, and tendency toward overstimulation. Therapy focuses on reducing overwhelm, building boundaries, and developing effective regulation strategies. We also work on reframing sensitivity as a strength, including increased empathy, awareness, and attunement. The goal is to help clients feel more grounded and empowered in how they navigate both internal and external experiences.

Embrace Your Sensitivity: A Gentle Path to Inner Harmony
Do you feel things deeply, experience quick emotional flooding, or find yourself easily overwhelmed by the world? High emotional sensitivity is a gift of deep empathy and awareness, but it can feel like a burden when you lack tools to navigate it. As an EFT and IFS therapist, I help you transform that overwhelm into inner strength.
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we will gently meet the "parts" of you that feel unprotected, self-critical, or anxious, helping them relax so you can lead your internal world with curiosity and compassion. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we will validate your intense emotions and reshape how you interact with them, turning overwhelming feelings into clear messengers of your deepest needs.
Together, we will build a safe, non-judgmental space where you can:
Unblend from overwhelming emotions, so you feel them without being them.
Heal the "exiled" parts of you that carry the weight of past, sensitive experiences.
Establish firm emotional boundaries to protect your energy.
Cultivate a deep sense of self-compassion, transforming your sensitivity into a source of wisdom and strength.
You don’t have to "fix" your sensitivity—you just need to learn how to harmonize with it. Let’s start that journey together.

Lisa Calderwood / New Dawn Counseling, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
I work with this population by helping them to understand that it is not a mental illness to be highly sensitive and work with you to get to the root of some of why you respond in the ways you do and how to manage better using DBT skills among other modalities depending on your comfort level.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you are highly sensitive, you may feel things deeply and get overwhelmed more easily by conflict, noise, or constant demands. We can treat sensitivity as a temperament, not a flaw, and work on practical ways to manage overstimulation. This often includes boundaries, nervous system regulation, and improving how you navigate relationships and stress so you can feel steadier without having to shut down who you are.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
A highly sensitive person has a sensory processing sensitivity trait that allows them to process physical, social, and emotional stimuli at a much deeper level than non-highly sensitive individuals. It is not a medical illness or disorder, and about 15-20% of people have this trait. HSP's are more susceptible to get drained quickly from busy schedules and overstimulation, be their own worst critic, and internalize negativity if they are unaware of how to protect their mental health, which can lead them to acquire any of a number of unhelpful issues. Rapid Transformational Therapy helps to provide relief from many of the issues that an HSP might be affected by, such as anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, depression, perfectionism, and poor stress-coping by implementing helpful suggestions directly to the subconscious of such things as: having powerful coping skills, suggestions of worth and value and purpose, empowerment beliefs, etc. Being an HSP myself, I have insight and experience as to what another highly sensitive person may need, and can provide ongoing support.

Salt Lake City is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this religious and cultural reality profoundly shapes the city's therapy landscape — with therapists who can work thoughtfully within LDS family frameworks, navigate faith transitions, and understand the particular psychological pressures of a community where cultural and religious expectations are deeply intertwined serving an essential role. The city's growing tech industry — part of the 'Silicon Slopes' corridor — creates additional demand for therapists experienced with startup culture, high-performance careers, and the particular identity challenges of building secular professional lives in a deeply religious community. University of Utah Health and Intermountain Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community. Salt Lake City's significant LGBTQ+ population — navigating identity in a predominantly LDS cultural context — creates consistent demand for affirming therapists who understand the intersection of queer identity and religious community.
