Therapy for Highly Sensitive Therapists
You feel the fault lines in our quaking world.
Highly sensitive therapists are on the frontlines and are the canaries in the collective coal mine — sensing the smoke before anyone else admits the fire.
You need another highly sensitive therapist who gets it: someone who cares deeply about injustice and can laugh in the dark without losing the light. I trust that your intuition is a guide for us in these times.
“I was lucky enough to have an IFS and Brainspotting session with Melissa and was blown away by her warm, skillful, and completely authentic presence. Her energy made me feel safe to open up, even in our very first meeting, and I was able to uncover things I hadn’t accessed before. So many insights in a single session! I can’t wait for my next one.” ~ Dr. Camarano, PsyD
You’re a deeply gifted healer, and it started long before grad school.
You were the emotional barometer in the family, tuning yourself to everyone else’s moods so the house wouldn’t fall apart.
You learned early how to read danger, how to soothe chaos, how to disappear your needs so others could get theirs met.
And now… decades later… clients feel safe with you because you have lived through things that they are only beginning to name.
But here you are at midlife, carrying a lifetime of other people’s pain. Exhausted. Lonely in a way that has nothing to do with being alone. Hungry for a place where you don’t have to be the strong one.
You want a space where the mystical and the clinical can co-exist.
Where your intuition is embraced as your truest voice. Where you can be held by someone who speaks the language you speak — the spirit realm, ancestors, reiki, astrology and tarot… while processing your trauma with IFS and Brainspotting. This is the liminal space where you can trust the process of falling apart and coming back together, without being judged for it.
You became a wise crone too young.
Not by age, but by necessity. But midlife is asking something different of you now:
to return to your pleasure,
your art,
your witch-fire,
your right to soften and still be powerful.
You’re ready to stop being everyone’s emotional caretaker. You’re ready to belong to yourself again.
Therapy with me is where you let your old roles shed, and where you let your true magic rise back to the surface.
You’re a therapist — but you’re a witch first.
Let’s reclaim the part of you that always knew:
you came here to heal,
but you also came here to live.
