Seattle, Washington therapist: Aaron Kapin, somatic experiencing practitioner
HSP

Aaron Kapin

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From one highly sensitive person to another, it can be a crazy world out there. Two things that I've found helpful: 1st, resiliency training: Although our bodies can react to things that other people might brush off, Somatic Experiencing can help build up our ability to settle our stress and activation levels. That party might still be uncomfortably loud, but it's more tolerable when you have confidence that you can quickly find comfort again once you leave. 2nd: Boundary training and asking for what you want: As we get better at knowing what would help us feel more comfortable, and better at asking for it, we can start to re-shape our environment to feel better. Then as we feel better, and as our loved ones know how to help us, we are more resourceful, more able to connect with others, and more able to be the people we want to be in the world.

HSP

Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC

Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
When working with highly sensitive persons (HSPs), I focus on supporting those who experience the world with heightened emotional depth, empathy, and sensory awareness. This specialty helps you better understand your sensitivity as a natural trait rather than a weakness, while learning skills to manage overstimulation, emotional overwhelm, and boundary-setting challenges. Through supportive and strengths-based approaches, counseling empowers you to regulate your nervous systems, build resilience, and embrace your sensitivity as a meaningful and valuable part of who you are.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CN, EMDR certified, Clinical Supervisor
Welcome, We're so glad you’re here! Bonfire Healing provides outpatient telehealth therapy with focus on complex mental health issues and developmental trauma along with co-occurring eating issues, addictions, chronic health conditions, nuerodiversity, and maladaptive behaviors. Our mission is to promote health equity through increasing access to evidence-based trauma treatment while utilizing insurance benefits so that this care is both high quality and affordable to more people. We honor that trauma impacts highly sensitive people in a different way and that high sensitivity is a quality that promotes empathy and creativity and can also put you at higher risk of social exhaustion and burn out. You will never be told "you're being too sensitive" here in this space, instead have your emotions will be validated and honored.

Seattle, Washington therapist: Ryan Shannon, counselor/therapist
HSP

Ryan Shannon

Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
If you are highly sensitive, everyday experiences may affect you more intensely than they seem to affect others. Noise, crowds, conflict, strong emotions, busy environments, or other people’s moods can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or needing more time to recover. In therapy, we can distinguish between situations you would like to become more comfortable with and sensitivities that may remain part of who you are. For some triggers, gradual exposure and emotional regulation can help you build tolerance and feel less controlled by distress. For others, the goal may be acceptance, stronger boundaries, thoughtful planning, and learning how to care for yourself in overstimulating environments. My goal is not to make you less sensitive. It is to help you understand your needs, respond to overwhelm more effectively, and create a life that honors your sensitivity without allowing it to unnecessarily limit you.
