Highly Sensitive Person Therapy
A Safe Space Where Your Emotions Make Sense
If you’ve ever been called too sensitive or too emotional, you know how heavy those labels can feel. Maybe you're still carrying the weight of those words today—long after they were first said.
You try to keep it together. At work. In friendships. Around family. But sometimes the smallest comment can leave you spiraling for hours, even days. You replay it, wondering what you did wrong. You wonder why people assume that being emotional means you’re weak.
You're not weak.
You're just tired.
Tired of being misunderstood.
Tired of being the one who shows up for everyone else while no one shows up for you.
If you’ve ever been the one who shows up for everyone else but feels invisible when you’re the one in need, you're not alone.
If this sounds familiar, you might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)—and you're in the right place.
You don’t need to change who you are to feel better.
There’s nothing wrong with having strong feelings. In fact, I believe your emotional sensitivity is a strength. It’s part of what makes you compassionate, intuitive, and deeply connected to the world around you.
But when your emotions feel overwhelming, or when people treat you like you’re “too much,” it can be hard to hold onto that belief.
That’s where our work together comes in.
I offer therapy for Highly Sensitive People who are ready to stop questioning their worth and start making peace with their emotions. In our work, we’ll make space for your full experience—without judgment, without pressure to be someone you’re not.
Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck, the boundaries that feel impossible to set, and the old stories about your sensitivity that no longer serve you.
This is about more than just managing emotions—it’s about coming home to yourself.
As both a therapist and a minister, I hold space for your emotional life, your practical needs, and your spiritual self—if that’s part of your journey.
We’ll look at how your body holds emotion. How your thoughts loop when you're anxious or overwhelmed. How past experiences may still be showing up in your relationships today. And how to gently untangle all of that so you can feel more grounded, more clear, and more at peace.
You don’t need to be “less sensitive.” You just need the tools, support, and space to understand how your sensitivity works—and how it can actually guide you toward a more meaningful life.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
I’m Danielle Hatchell, LCPC, and for over 25 years, I’ve supported Highly Sensitive People who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or simply the overwhelm of feeling everything so deeply.
My approach combines mindfulness, education, and emotional insight to help you:
Understand what’s really going on beneath the surface
Communicate your needs with clarity and confidence
Stop people-pleasing and start honoring your own boundaries
Make decisions from a place of self-trust and emotional wisdom
You don’t need to toughen up or tone yourself down. You just need a space where you can be real, be supported, and feel safe to grow.
What clients often tell me things like this...
“I'm learning to understand and honor feelings, my journey, and my boundaries. I am excited and willing to do the work, and I feel capable and confident because I am not alone. I feel supported.”
That’s what we do here. We create a space where you're no longer alone with it all. Where your emotions are welcomed. Where the parts of you that feel too much or not enough finally get to just be.
Let’s talk about what support could look like for you.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can talk about what’s been coming up for you and whether working together feels like the right next step.
