424-254-8508|jb@jenniferbirner.com|https://www.jenniferbirner.com

I help HSPs who are ready to understand themselves at a deeper level and create lasting change. Together we may look at: the roots of anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing; repeating relationship patterns; emotional overwhelm and nervous system sensitivity; internalized critical voices and other parts of you that adapted to survive a world that often misunderstands sensitivity. The world needs HSPs and I want us all to thrive!

My approach is highly personalized and holistic, attending to the whole person rather than focusing solely on symptoms. Therapy with me is collaborative, reflective, and deeply attuned. As someone who also identifies as an HSP, I understand firsthand the depth, intensity, and nuance this trait brings. My lived experience informs my clinical work while remaining grounded in professional training and thoughtful boundaries.

I offer a free 15 min phone consultation. Please visit my website for more information.

Sometimes life experiences seem meaningless when we get out of sync with our needs, while trying to fit into a non-HSP culture. It can also be very lonely. I too am an HSP (with a bit of extroversion) and I can appreciate the drive to process things deeply. I use a relational depth psychotherapy approach. I provide a warm and inviting, at times playful, space to find meaning in life. Being an extroverted HSP can also be confusing. I can help you find balance and create meaningful connections, and reduce internal and external sources of overwhelm. I also work with HSPs struggling with depression, and those who wish to sort through difficult childhood experiences, like abuse, neglect, or sexual trauma.

If you are at a place in life where you are feeling emotionally or spiritually stuck, if you would describe your emotions as seemingly out of control, or if you are experiencing what feels like real emotional pain, I am here to listen to you with compassion and to help you begin your journey of healing to become whole and healthy again. I also work with clients identifying as having the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) trait. I myself identify as highly sensitive. My type of therapy is client-centered, which means I am here for you, unconditionally. I’m looking forward to starting the journey with you!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Claremont, CA, and throughout the state by telehealth. I specialize in helping people manage highly sensitive natures (HSP), burnout, excessive people-pleasing, body-mind (somatic) symptoms, and life transitions. In sessions, I use my personal understanding of what it means to be HSP in a fast, loud, dominant, often insensitive culture. I am basically a ‘quieter people-person’. Because of that, I give you enough space to talk and ‘just be’, but am ready with a helping comment or question if you get stuck or don’t know what to say. In general, I support the search for your deserved and natural place in this world, by pulling out and highlighting your special gifts and qualities.

I was handed the Highly Sensitive Person book by my law school career center counselor over 20 years ago in response to my concerns about how I felt sorely out of place amidst my peers as a law student. The understanding and appreciation that it afforded me of my traits has had a significant positive influence on my life/career aspirations/decisions. Now as a lawyer/therapist who focuses on helping couples and families through crisis/transition, trauma/shame/creativity, and cultural and identity issues, I am happy to support others in their HSP journey. I am trained by Les Greenberg in Emotionally Focused Therapy, a modality that works well with Highly Sensitive People. Emotionally Focused Therapy is a blend of Rogerian theory (centered in empathy, genuine regard, and genuisness), Gestalt theory (helping clients authentic self make contact with reality), attachment theory (considering the impact of early caregivers on our relational style as adults), systems theory (searching for intergenerational patterns impacting a person’s current behaviors), and even narrative therapy (our lives are shaped by the stories we/others tell ourselves about ourselves).

As an HSP myself and someone who has successfully navigated the waters of judgment and self-condemnation—and learned how to swim—I believe you can do the same. I’ve been told by many of my HSP clients that they experience a deep sense of acceptance, which leads to them experiencing it for themselves. My hope is that HSP therapy can help you, too, feel encouraged and supported in navigating your life and achieving your goals. I enjoy utilizing a variety of gentle and effective client centered therapeutic modalities, including Energy Psychology, DBT, attachment and somatically based approaches.

As HSPs, we’re used to being told we’re too sensitive or we’re wrong for having the feelings we do. These messages can create core beliefs that there is something fundamentally wrong with us or we are flawed in some way. I help Highly Sensitive People rewrite these core beliefs and let go of the feeling that they are flawed. In therapy, I can help you cultivate self-compassion, learn how to honor your needs in relationships, and discover the gifts that lie within your sensitivity.

In addition to HSPs, I also specialize in therapy for fellow therapists, major life transitions, and grief and loss, and am passionate about supporting HSPs who are navigating the tender intersection between sensitivity and grief.

Tolerance is not enough. Anxiety, stress, overstimulation, and being misunderstood are all issues you have likely dealt with as a Highly Sensitive Person. As an HSP myself, I understand how challenging the world can be for people who feel emotions strongly and simply want to be themselves. I also understand how hard it can be to appreciate special qualities that come from being an HSP, such as noticing subtle details other people will often miss.

As a gay cisgender male therapist, I understand how painful the experiences of isolation and being misunderstood can be. My warm and inquisitive style is gentle and works towards building understanding and your resilience against a society that doesn’t always understand you. I work with stress and anxiety that arises when not feeling as if you fit in, chronic health conditions, such as hearing loss, and also often with people who work in challenging careers, such as the tech and creative industries.

I accept the following insurance directly, and can help you verify your policy’s copay: Aetna, Cigna, Optum, United, and UMR. I also take Lyra Health, Modern Health, and Samata Health employee assistance programs (EAPs). Please reach out with any questions, even if you’re not sure you want to start therapy. When you reach out, whether through text, email, or the contact form, please include your name and a brief reason so I can respond quickly.

My clients are the type to do things perfectly, yet their best never feels good enough. They often find themselves grappling with anxiety in trying to make the “right” decision in many aspects of their life. My clients are also extremely considerate individuals. They want the best for the world. They take care of others yet often forget to care for themselves. Life can feel daunting when you carry the weight of the world and push your needs aside. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Therapy can help. Together we will work towards finding your light at the end of the tunnel and a self outside of achievements and the expectations of others.

As a Highly Sensitive Person, I know what it feels like to be different. Being told I’m “too sensitive” (as if that’s a negative thing) to wondering why I can’t just be like “other” people. Since learning about what it means to be a HSP and becoming a licensed psychotherapist/clinical social worker, I have dedicated myself to working with other HSP teens, adults, and couples in my therapy practice. You don’t have to feel alone or think there’s something wrong with you. You are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you. Sometimes, we all need some professional support and guidance, especially from someone who understands your traits. In my therapy, you will gain more understanding of the what it means to be a HSP, create healthier relationships with others and yourself. With the right path, you won’t have to just survive as a HSP — you can thrive.
