Therapy for Highly Sensitive People
Trauma-informed, deeply personalized therapy for highly sensitive adults in California
Sensitivity is your greatest strength.
Highly sensitive people (HSPs) experience the world with depth, intuition, and emotional attunement. You may notice subtle changes in mood, tone, or environment. You feel deeply. You think reflectively. You may also feel easily overwhelmed, self-critical, or emotionally exhausted.
This is a finely tuned nervous system that deserves thoughtful, attuned care.
How sensitivity and trauma intersect
When highly sensitive people grow up in environments that lacked emotional safety, their nervous systems often learn to stay on alert.
You may experience:
Emotional overwhelm
Chronic self-doubt
Difficulty trusting yourself
Burnout or shutdown
Trouble advocating for your needs
Therapy supports you in restoring safety, clarity, and grounded confidence, without pushing or forcing your nervous system beyond its capacity.
A bespoke approach for all nervous systems
The Listening Garden psychotherapy offers bespoke trauma-informed therapy for highly sensitive adults in California.
Your therapy is shaped around:
Your nervous system’s rhythms
Your emotional language
Your history and relationships
Your pace and values
Your therapy is crafted around you.
Sensitivity is strength.
Highly sensitive people (often referred to as HSPs) experience the world with depth, awareness, and emotional attunement. This sensitivity reflects a finely tuned nervous system that notices subtle shifts in mood, environment, and relationships.
If you’re highly sensitive, you may feel emotions deeply, need more time to process experiences, or become easily overwhelmed in fast-paced or overstimulating environments. Sensitivity brings insight, creativity, and empathy, but when paired with past experiences that lacked emotional safety, it can also lead to self-doubt, burnout, or emotional shutdown.
Therapy for highly sensitive people often needs to feel different. Work that moves too quickly or relies on rigid structure can unintentionally overwhelm a sensitive nervous system.
In our work together, therapy is shaped around your sensitivity rather than asking you to work against it. We move at a steady, attuned pace, prioritize safety and nervous-system regulation, and honor your emotional and intuitive language. Insight is gently integrated into daily life in ways that feel grounded, empowering, and sustainable.
Here, sensitivity is cultivated as a source of clarity, agency, and inner strength.
