Highly Sensitive Person
Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you turn down lights, pick clothes by how they feel, have trouble staying places with strong smells, or wish you could turn down the volume everywhere you go? Does it seem like you feel every emotion more quickly and intensely than others? Do you know what others around you are feeling before they even seem to know themselves? It is exhausting to feel like every sensation and every emotion is raw and open, and can make navigating relationships and boundaries challenging. With understanding and compassion we can work together to help you understand your sensitivity, manage overwhelm, and build confidence while honoring your unique strengths and needs.

Finley Anderson
Therapist, LMFT
Together, we’ll explore what it has meant to be wired this way — the wounds of feeling “too much,” the patterns you developed to cope, and what it might look like to stop apologizing for how deeply you feel.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I support highly sensitive people in navigating a world that can often feel overwhelming. Together, we create a gentle, grounded space to explore emotions, build resilience, and honor sensitivity as a strength rather than a flaw. My approach is validating, empowering, and attuned to the depth and nuance that sensitivity brings.

Highly Sensitive Person
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.
