Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
Our experience of the world is often impacted by how we experience it through our senses. For some people, the world is harder to navigate because lights are much brighter, sounds are much louder, and textures are far more uncomfortable. And for a lot of highly sensitive people, emotions are significantly stronger.

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.
