Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who feel and notice a lot. You might be deeply affected by others’ moods, small changes in tone, or the energy of a room. Loud noises, bright lights, busy schedules, or conflict may feel more overwhelming to you than to those around you. Many highly sensitive people grow up feeling “too much” or “too sensitive.”
As adults, this can look like needing more time to recover from social interactions or workdays; feeling easily overstimulated, wired, or shut down; taking on others’ feelings and struggling to find your own center; and being very conscientious, but also prone to burnout or self‑criticism.
Highly sensitive children and teens are often described as intense, dramatic, shy, or “overreactive.” They may have big feelings, strong empathy, vivid inner worlds, or a very thoughtful, observant way of moving through life. In environments that do not understand them, they can become anxious, withdrawn, perfectionistic, or reactive.
In our work together, we explore how your sensitivity shows up in your nervous system, relationships, and daily life. We look at what overwhelms you and what nourishes you so that sensitivity can become less of a constant struggle and more of a source of information, depth, and connection. When I work with children and teens, I also support parents in understanding their child’s sensitivity and responding in ways that feel more workable for everyone. Working with highly sensitive people is central to my practice, and I understand how much strength it takes to move through the world this way.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
A highly sensitive person has a sensory processing sensitivity trait that allows them to process physical, social, and emotional stimuli at a much deeper level than non-highly sensitive individuals. It is not a medical illness or disorder, and about 15-20% of people have this trait. HSP's are more susceptible to get drained quickly from busy schedules and overstimulation, be their own worst critic, and internalize negativity if they are unaware of how to protect their mental health, which can lead them to acquire any of a number of unhelpful issues. Rapid Transformational Therapy helps to provide relief from many of the issues that an HSP might be affected by, such as anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, depression, perfectionism, and poor stress-coping by implementing helpful suggestions directly to the subconscious of such things as: having powerful coping skills, suggestions of worth and value and purpose, empowerment beliefs, etc. Being an HSP myself, I have insight and experience as to what another highly sensitive person may need, and can provide ongoing support.

Clare Campbell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I provide intensive psychotherapy for individuals navigating anxiety and the emotional toll of persistent stress. I offer telehealth sessions to clients across the United States, as well as in-person appointments in Darien, Connecticut. My approach is highly individualized, grounded in the belief that meaningful change arises through a deeper understanding of one’s emotional life in the present moment. Together, we will work to uncover and shift long-standing patterns that may be interfering with your well-being, relationships, or sense of self. I aim to bring both compassion and challenge to our work—meeting you with respect, curiosity, and acceptance, while also encouraging growth toward a more authentic and connected version of yourself.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics, Somatic Counseling & Bodywork
Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, HE, LMT
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.
