1 in 5 People Are Born More Sensitive Than Others. Are You One of Them?
Do noises, crowds, or other people’s emotions feel louder than they should? If so, you might be someone who feels things deeply. My name is Dr. Elayne Daniels, and I’m a psychologist from Canton, MA. I help teens and adults, especially those who are sensitive, learn how to feel calm and confident in their daily lives. Even though my office is in Canton, I also help people from Newton, MA, online and in person.
I work with folks who want help with strong feelings, stress, school problems, relationships, or just feeling lost. In my work, I offer gentle, caring support so you can feel safer and happier.
Therapy That Really Understands You
Life can be hard, especially when you feel deeply. Your brain notices more. Your heart feels more. You may feel like you have to keep everything inside or pretend you’re okay. That can feel lonely. That’s where therapy comes in. Through psychotherapy services in Newton, I provide a gentle, judgment-free space where you can talk about what’s on your mind. I won’t tell you what to do, I’ll help you understand your feelings and find ways to feel better.
Helping Teens: Therapy for Adolescents in Newton
Being a teenager is hard. There’s schoolwork, friends, and figuring out who you are. If that feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. I offer therapy for adolescents in Newton with people like you in mind. Maybe you feel sad without knowing why. Maybe you get nervous around new situations. Or maybe little things upset you more than they do others. You don’t have to feel embarrassed—I’ve helped many teens just like you.
Therapy gives you space to be honest about what’s hard, learn how to handle hard moments, and feel stronger about yourself.
Understanding Highly Sensitive People
Some people are what we call Highly Sensitive People, or HSPs. That means they feel more—more sounds, more moods, more emotions. HSPs notice colors others miss. They feel music deeply. But sometimes this means they also get overwhelmed easily.
If this sounds like you, that’s okay. Being sensitive is not bad. It can be a gift. I offer HSP therapy in Newton to help sensitive people understand what’s going on inside them and learn how to handle it. We’ll look at how your brain works, how your body reacts, and how to help yourself feel safe.
Caring Counseling for Sensitive People
Maybe you’ve been told you’re too emotional or worry too much. That can hurt. HSP counseling in Newton is about showing you it’s okay to feel deeply, and helping you live well with that. In counseling, we’ll talk about how to set boundaries (you get to choose how much you do or say). We’ll work on taking breaks when things feel too much. And we’ll practice noticing when your body says “slow down.” Little steps like that can help you feel more comfortable being you.
Coaching to Find Your Way
Sometimes you don’t need someone to talk through feelings; you need someone to help you make a plan. Something to help you take action. As an HSP coach in Newton, I help sensitive adults and teens set goals and reach them in a way that feels right. Maybe you want to do better at school, pick a job, or just feel less overwhelmed. We’ll make a plan that respects your sensitivity. You’ll learn how to move forward without taking on too much.
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to feelings. That’s why I offer individual therapy in Newton. If you feel sad, anxious, confused, or just not yourself, therapy can help. Our sessions are private. You can say what you feel without fear of judgment. We go at your pace. We explore how to help you feel more in control, less stuck. Therapy isn’t magic, but it can help little by little, so that one day you feel much stronger.
Help for Feeling Down: Depression Treatment
Depression isn’t just sadness. It can feel like you’re empty, tired, or bored with everything. School, friends, hobbies, they don’t interest you anymore. That can feel lonely. I offer depression treatment in Newton that’s caring and trustworthy. Together, we’ll look at what might be causing how you feel and build steps to feel better. It could be learning new ways to think or finding things that help you feel good again. You don’t have to go through this alone.
Online Therapy for Depression
If it’s hard to get to my office, or if you feel more comfortable in your own space, depression therapy online in Newton is a good choice. We’ll meet on a secure video call—that means no one else can see or hear us. Many people like online therapy because it’s private and easy to do from home. You just need a quiet place and internet. You still get all the support from real face-to-face sessions, just through a screen.
Here are some common questions I hear when someone thinks about starting therapy or coaching with me:
Do I have to visit your office in Canton?
Not at all. You can choose in-person or online. Whatever feels best.
Will you think I'm weird for being sensitive?
No. I respect sensitivity. It’s part of who you are, and it can be a strength when we support it properly.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
They’re different. Therapy helps you heal and understand emotions. Coaching helps you plan and reach goals. Both can be helpful as we’ll talk about which fits you best.
How long will therapy take?
That depends. Some people feel better in a few sessions. Others take months. We’ll talk about what you want and work together on a plan.
Is therapy private?
Yes. Everything you say stays between us. It’s a safe place where you can be honest and real.
Even though I am based in Canton, MA, my Psychotherapy Services in Miami bring professional support directly to you. Whether you want individual therapy, help as an HSP, or depression treatment online, I am here to guide you. Therapy is about learning, growing, and finding ways to live a happier life.
