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.

LEGACY MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTING SERVICES
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Legacy Mental Health Consulting Services provides supportive, insight‑driven care for individuals who identify as Highly Sensitive Persons—those who experience emotions deeply, notice subtle details, and feel more affected by stress, conflict, or overstimulation. We understand that high sensitivity is not a flaw but a meaningful temperament trait that can bring creativity, empathy, intuition, and rich inner awareness. At the same time, it can lead to overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism, or difficulty setting boundaries. Using approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, DBT skills, and strengths‑based exploration, we help clients manage emotional intensity, reduce sensory overload, and build confidence in their unique way of experiencing the world. Our goal is to create a safe, affirming space where highly sensitive individuals can thrive, feel understood, and learn to use their sensitivity as a source of resilience and empowerment.
