We provide supportive, individualized psychotherapy for highly sensitive and empathic adults who may feel deeply affected by emotions, environments, and interpersonal dynamics. Our approach helps clients better understand their sensitivity as a strength while also addressing challenges such as emotional overwhelm, boundary-setting, stress reactivity, and burnout. Through evidence-based strategies and a validating therapeutic space, we work with clients to develop regulation skills, strengthen resilience, and create balanced ways of engaging with the world that honor both sensitivity and well-being.

Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
If you’re struggling to navigate life as an HSP, I’d be honored to support you. My wish is that you’ll see you don’t have to toughen up or dull your emotions to fit in. You can build a life that works with your sensitivity rather than against it. And when you do, you’ll find that what once felt like a struggle is actually your greatest asset.

Ren Lee
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with many neurodivergent clients, whether you are formally diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or exploring what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person. I am here to work with you to better understand how HSP informs how you navigate the world, how to come up with tools and skills to navigate HSP, and how it impacts your relationships, career, and functioning.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who feel and notice a lot. You might be deeply affected by others’ moods, small changes in tone, or the energy of a room. Loud noises, bright lights, busy schedules, or conflict may feel more overwhelming to you than to those around you. Many highly sensitive people grow up feeling “too much” or “too sensitive.”
As adults, this can look like needing more time to recover from social interactions or workdays; feeling easily overstimulated, wired, or shut down; taking on others’ feelings and struggling to find your own center; and being very conscientious, but also prone to burnout or self‑criticism.
Highly sensitive children and teens are often described as intense, dramatic, shy, or “overreactive.” They may have big feelings, strong empathy, vivid inner worlds, or a very thoughtful, observant way of moving through life. In environments that do not understand them, they can become anxious, withdrawn, perfectionistic, or reactive.
In our work together, we explore how your sensitivity shows up in your nervous system, relationships, and daily life. We look at what overwhelms you and what nourishes you so that sensitivity can become less of a constant struggle and more of a source of information, depth, and connection. When I work with children and teens, I also support parents in understanding their child’s sensitivity and responding in ways that feel more workable for everyone. Working with highly sensitive people is central to my practice, and I understand how much strength it takes to move through the world this way.
