Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)

BASED IN REDONDO BEACH, CA

Therapy for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)


At Catherine Alvarado, LMFT & Associates, we support Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) throughout Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, and the greater South Bay.

We provide therapy services for:

  • Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)

  • Deeply feeling and empathic individuals

  • Adults and teens navigating sensitivity as a strength and challenge

Support for HSPs

Being highly sensitive can bring deep empathy, creativity, and intuition—but it can also feel overwhelming in a fast-paced, overstimulating world. Therapy offers a safe, grounding space to better understand your sensitivity, reduce overwhelm, and learn tools to protect your well-being.

Sessions may focus on anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, relationship concerns, or self-esteem struggles. We also help HSPs navigate burnout, boundaries, sensory overload, and the challenges of balancing deep empathy with self-care. Our goal is to help highly sensitive people feel more balanced, confident, and empowered to embrace sensitivity as a source of strength.

SENSITIVITY MEANS YOU FEEL DEEPLY

Therapy helps you find balance within it.
