My passions and specialty areas include working with eating disorders, self injury and highly sensitive people.   As a counselor educator,  I am passionate about helping HST’s (highly sensitive therapists) navigate the unique challenges which arise for us as we are entering the field and/or maintaining a practice.  I love working with graduate students who are working towards their master’s degree in school and professional counseling and who are HSP.   I am an HSP/HST.  I offer supervision to those seeking licensure in Colorado and am able to consult with and/or mentor others hoping to learn more about working with someone who is an HSP.

PROVENANCE COUNSELING, PO BOX 5588, Madison WI 53705
608-571-3903 | ckalin@provenancecounseling.com |  https://www.provenancecounseling.com/

I help women and college students who identify as emotionally sensitive. You may struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, depression, losing yourself in others, setting boundaries, or trauma. This heightened compassion is your super power! It is the source of your creativity, your passion, and your intuition! But in our culture, it can often be met with criticism leading us to feel as though we don’t belong. We learn to push away our emotions to gain acceptance only to feel more isolated. My clients want to step out of conditioning based in shame, patriarchy, and trauma and learn to trust their gifts, emotions, and intuition!
With mindfulness, somatic therapies, and DBT, I will help you stop self-sabotaging, get comfortable with the experience of your emotions, and guide you in tuning into your wants, your needs, your limits, and your values. I can help you let go of others’ expectations of you so that you can live the life YOU want to live and trust yourself above all others.

I help women living with chronic illness heal faster by improving their relationship with their body and themselves. As an HSP and someone who also has chronic illnesses, I’ve found that being in tune with the body really helps to identify overstimulation and how to manage it. I also am a Reiki Master Teacher and utilize this as a tool for somatic therapy.

You’re not “too sensitive.” You’re exquisitely perceptive. Together we will use your exceptional skills to pay attention to what is the hardest for you: yourself.

I work with HSPs, people-pleasers, perfectionists, high achievers and those who find themselves anxious often. In our work together you will gain new personal insights, learn to work with your strengths and hold space for the parts of you that try to get your attention by creating overwhelm. I use Internal Family Systems therapy to help my clients listen to their intuition, emotions, body and thoughts, increasing connection, calm and clarity.

About this Blog

The quarterly Comfort Zone ended in 2014, partly to give Elaine more time to write, but also because a blog seemed more up-to-date and flexible, allowing her to write new posts based on the interests of readers. If you've signed up for her list, you will be notified when she has posted anything new. Comments: While she will not answer every comment, she will read them all and, again, may be inspired by some comments to write another blog post. You will also receive emails of any important announcement rather than these showing up only in the quarterly issue. Old Comfort Zones: The many emailed Comfort Zones are still very timely. To make full use of the extensive Comfort Zone archives, the Comfort Zone section has a Google search that will find old Comfort Zone issues as well as topics in the blog posts.

The Original Book

The Highly Sensitive Person book cover

A general introduction and covers every aspect of an HSP's life. Worldwide bestseller. Translated into 32 languages. With an Author's Note summarizing the latest research.
