Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Experiencing the world with greater emotional depth and sensitivity can be meaningful, but it can also feel lonely or overwhelming when others don’t seem to experience things with the same intensity. Therapy offers a space to explore the depth of your feelings and experiences without viewing your sensitivity, perceptions, or way of engaging with the world as something that needs to be changed or corrected.

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.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics, Holistic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, CYT
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with remarkable depth while also becoming more vulnerable to emotional overwhelm. Therapy helps you understand your sensitivity, strengthen regulation, and transform sensitivity into one of your greatest strengths.
I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.
Sensitivity is not a weakness to overcome. When understood and supported, it can become a source of insight, creativity, compassion, and resilience. Together we'll help you thrive without feeling overwhelmed by the world around you.
