Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP)

The trait of High Sensitivity was first identified by Elaine Aron and is present in approximately 15% of the population. This trait includes the awareness of subtleties others don’t notice, sensory sensitivity, depth of processing, difficulty with transitions, and the experience of strong feelings. It makes individuals more vulnerable to anxiety and depression when stress occurs.

The following practitioners are devoted to supporting Highly Sensitive children and adults in recognizing the strengths and joys of this trait — and learning tools to navigate the intensity of the world with greater ease. In addition to working with Highly Sensitive Teens and Adults, we can also help parents support their Highly Sensitive Child.
