Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with highly sensitive individuals who tend to feel things deeply, think deeply, and often become overwhelmed by the intensity of their internal and external experiences. Being highly sensitive is not a weakness—it’s a trait that, when understood, can become a strength. Together, we focus on helping you regulate overstimulation, set boundaries without guilt, and navigate relationships and environments in a way that feels more sustainable. My approach combines practical tools with mind-body awareness, supporting you in feeling more grounded, confident, and able to move through life without constant overwhelm.

Tycee Belcastro
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT, CSTIP
Have you ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too needy,” or “too particular”? If those words sting, you’re not alone—they’re often thrown at highly sensitive people like you. But here’s the truth: you’re not “too” anything. You’re beautifully, uniquely you. Your sensitivity isn’t a flaw; it’s a gift—a superpower that lets you feel and notice the world in vivid detail. It’s like having a finely tuned antenna, picking up on emotions, nuances, and beauty others might miss. Sure, it can feel heavy when others don’t get it, when you are overwhelmed with input, or when you struggle to embrace this part of yourself. But I’m here to help you see your sensitivity as strength. Together, we’ll explore ways to harness this gift, use it to enrich your life and relationships, and find deep self-acceptance. With warmth and practical tools, I’ll walk beside you as you turn your sensitivity into a source of confidence and connection. You’ve got this, and I’ve got you.

Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Being a highly sensitive person often means experiencing the world with greater depth — emotionally, physically, and intuitively. You may notice subtle shifts in tone, energy, or environment that others miss, and you may process experiences more deeply and intensely than those around you.
While sensitivity can be a profound strength, it can also feel overwhelming in a fast-paced or emotionally demanding world. Many highly sensitive clients come to therapy feeling overstimulated, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to stay grounded without shutting down their natural depth of feeling and perception.
In therapy, we work to understand sensitivity not as something to fix, but as an important way your nervous system and inner world are organized. From a trauma-informed and psychodynamic perspective, we explore how early experiences, relational dynamics, and nervous system patterns may have shaped how your sensitivity is expressed — including tendencies toward over-adaptation, people-pleasing, or emotional overload.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we gently turn toward the “felt sense” — the subtle, embodied awareness that is often especially rich in highly sensitive individuals. This helps you learn how to stay connected to your inner experience without becoming flooded by it, and how to differentiate between what is yours, what is relational, and what is environmental.
The goal of this work is not to reduce your sensitivity, but to support you in living with it in a way that feels more resourced, regulated, and aligned. This often includes building stronger internal boundaries, increasing nervous system capacity, and developing greater trust in your inner signals.
Many highly sensitive clients also reconnect with creativity, intuition, and a deeper sense of meaning as they learn to work with — rather than against — their sensitivity.
This approach is especially supportive for creatives, deep feelers, and those who have often felt “too much” or “too sensitive” in relationships, work, or family systems.

If you identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), you likely experience the world with exceptional depth, noticing details and subtleties that others might miss. While this brings rich insights and creativity, it can also lead to feeling drained, anxious, or overstimulated. I provide a supportive environment where we celebrate your unique nervous system and explore how to optimize your well-being. Our work focuses on building emotional resilience, creating nurturing practices, and developing personalized tools to navigate life's intensity, empowering you to thrive in your authenticity.
