Alignwell Modern Therapy
Counselor/Therapist
We specialize in working with highly sensitive individuals who experience emotions and environments deeply. Therapy focuses on understanding your sensitivity as a strength while helping you manage overwhelm, set boundaries, and care for your nervous system. We get it, as many of us in the practice identify as HSP's ourselves!

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.

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.

Denise Bike
Psychologist, PhD
Empathy and intuition are your superpowers… but can leave you overstimulated, anxious, and depleted. Underneath all the adapting, managing, and achieving, your nervous system craves stillness. With Dr. Bike, you can design an in-depth intensive focused on learning to let your sensitivity guide you, not exhaust you.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
If you're a person who experiences the world deeply and intensely, I am here to support you. In our work together, I’ll help you learn tools for emotional regulation, overstimulation, boundaries, and self-care. As a highly sensitive person, you can become pivot so that this becomes a strength rather than a source of overwhelm.
