Highly Sensitive Person
Amanda Butler
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Highly sensitive individuals often experience the world with deep emotional and sensory awareness. While this sensitivity can be a strength, it can also lead to overwhelm or difficulty setting boundaries. Therapy focuses on helping clients understand and honor their sensitivity while developing tools to regulate stress and protect their energy. This work can transform sensitivity into a source of insight, creativity, and resilience.

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.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be particularly beneficial for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) by helping them manage overwhelming emotions and sensory experiences. Through deep relaxation and guided visualization, hypnotherapists can assist HSPs in developing coping strategies for stressful situations and reducing anxiety. This therapeutic approach empowers individuals to reframe negative thought patterns, enhance emotional resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of self-acceptance, making daily life more manageable for those who feel acutely affected by their environment.

Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with remarkable depth, empathy, and awareness—but that depth can also feel overwhelming. I work with highly sensitive clients to better understand and embrace their sensitivity as a strength, while building skills to manage overstimulation, emotional intensity, and boundary challenges. Together, we explore patterns such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, or difficulty saying no, and develop practical tools for nervous system regulation and emotional balance. Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients reframe self-criticism, strengthen boundaries, and cultivate self-trust. We also focus on honoring your needs for rest, reflection, and meaningful connection. My approach is warm, validating, and collaborative. Rather than trying to “toughen up” or change who you are, our work centers on helping you thrive as a highly sensitive person—grounded, confident, and empowered in your relationships and daily life.
14 Years Experience

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.
