A Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is someone with a biological trait of heightened sensitivity to environmental, social, and emotional stimuli. This isn't a disorder; it's a way of being. HSPs process information more deeply, which can lead to being more conscientious, creative, and empathetic. However, it can also mean feeling easily overwhelmed by loud noises, crowded spaces, or intense emotional situations. About 20% of the population are thought to be HSPs, meaning you are far from alone.
Being an HSP comes with a unique set of strengths and challenges. Therapy can be an invaluable space to learn how to navigate the world in a way that honors your sensitivity. Our therapists understand these complexities and can help you:
Whether you're struggling with burnout or simply seeking greater self-acceptance, we're here to help you leverage your unique qualities to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
