Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I work with empaths at all levels to develop skills needed to dim the external noise and form a force field of protection from unwanted and depleting energies. We use hypnotherapy and related frameworks, along with visualizations, NLP, EMT and motivational programming. I give you tools you can use that allow you to climb out of a fear-based spiral in less than three minutes. I give you hypnotic programming that literally installs new hardware to wire in the new identity, beliefs, and emotions to empower you to feel invincible and turn on and turn off your gift of sensitivity as needed. Ultimately, you will once again feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin.

Washington Psychological Wellness
Counselor/Therapist
At Washington Psychological Wellness, we understand the unique experiences of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) — someone who feels emotions deeply, notices subtleties others may miss, and can become easily overwhelmed by stress or stimulation. Our therapists provide compassionate, tailored support to help HSPs embrace their sensitivity as a strength while learning tools to navigate the challenges it can bring.
We work with children, teens, and adults to build resilience, set healthy boundaries, manage overwhelm, and foster self-acceptance. Therapy can help you thrive in relationships, at work, and in daily life while honoring your authentic self.
If you identify as highly sensitive, we’re here to support you on your journey to greater balance, confidence, and well-being.

Dr. Katerina Nair
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I work with highly sensitive individuals who may experience emotions, relationships, and their environments with greater depth and intensity. Therapy provides a space to better understand your sensitivity without viewing it as something that needs to be fixed, while exploring how past experiences and attachment patterns may shape the way you respond to the world around you. Together, we can develop greater self-acceptance, emotional regulation, and confidence in honoring your needs while maintaining meaningful relationships.
10 Years Experience
Online in Arlington, VA
Arlington is home to the Pentagon and a concentration of federal government, defense contracting, and intelligence community workers that gives it a distinctive therapy clientele — people who often cannot openly discuss their work, carry significant stress related to security clearances, and navigate the psychological weight of careers lived at the intersection of policy and national security. The county is one of the most educated and affluent in the United States, with a population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and financially able to engage in longer-term work. VHC Health (formerly Virginia Hospital Center) and the broader Northern Virginia healthcare ecosystem provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most established private practice communities in the Washington DC metro area. Arlington's large Latino population — concentrated in the Columbia Pike corridor — creates important demand for Spanish-speaking and culturally affirming therapists alongside the predominantly white-collar therapy clientele.
