Therapy for Highly Sensitive Children and Teens

Emotional Regulation Skills:

HSCs often feel emotions intensely and may become easily overwhelmed. Through therapeutic techniques like mindfulness, deep breathing, and grounding exercises, I teach children and teens how to manage big emotions and cope with stress in a healthy way.

Building Confidence and Self-Esteem:

Sensitivity can sometimes lead to self-doubt or perfectionism. My therapy sessions help HSCs develop a positive sense of self, embracing their sensitivity as a strength while fostering self-compassion and resilience.

Developing Social Skills and Boundaries:

Highly sensitive children and teens are often deeply empathetic and attuned to the emotions of others. I help them develop healthy boundaries, assertiveness, and the ability to navigate social dynamics without becoming overwhelmed or overly self-critical.

Managing Overstimulation:

Whether it’s school, social situations, or busy environments, HSCs can easily feel overstimulated. In therapy, we explore strategies to reduce sensory overload and create routines that help them manage their energy levels and thrive in a variety of settings.

Support for Parents and Caregivers:

Working closely with parents and caregivers is a crucial part of therapy. I provide guidance on how to create a supportive home environment, how to respond to the emotional needs of your highly sensitive child, and practical strategies to help them flourish.
