Christina Sheehan, LPC, LMHC

You’ve been the strong one. The Peacekeeper. The one who makes it look easy, even when it’s not. But lately? You’re burned out, overwhelmed, and starting to wonder… what about me? This is the space where you get to answer that question, without guilt, shame or judgement.

Hi I’m Christina and I Have Been Where You Are.

I didn’t realize I was highly sensitive/empathic until I was 45. My clinical supervisor (I had just finished my counseling masters) said to me, “of course you feel the way you do, you’re empathic.” I stared at her for a moment, (probably with my mouth hanging open) and whispered, “I am?”

As I learned more about myself and about highly sensitive people, I noticed that many of my clients struggled with feeling too much, feeling resentful that others were not as accommodating as they were, and feeling misunderstood most of their lives. AND blaming themselves. All struggles HSP’s can experience. I decided to specialize in helping highly sensitive people learn and embrace their true selves without justifying or apologizing for who they are. And I love it!

I specialize in working with highly sensitive, self-aware women who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, and the aftereffects of relational trauma, especially relationships with covert narcissists. My therapeutic approach blends depth work, trauma-informed care, and a strong relational foundation—helping clients rebuild self-trust, clarify their boundaries, and reconnect to their inner voice. Clients often tell me they feel deeply seen and genuinely understood in our work together. If you're ready to explore real change—not just symptom relief—I’d be honored to support your process.
