Therapy for Empaths
For Highly Sensitive People in Detroit, Ann Arbor, & Throughout Michigan
Therapy for empaths
You rewatch the same TV shows over and over again.
Perhaps you find yourself crying a lot.
You overthink things.
No matter how hard you try, you become wrapped up in other people’s problems and emotions.
You say yes when you want to say no.
Most importantly, you have no idea why, but random people seek you out and tell you their story.
You are an empath. You are a highly sensitive person.
You were born an empath.
From an early age, you knew you were different. Your parents and teachers described you as “sensitive” or shy. You knew that wasn’t quite right though. It was something deeper than that. You have a deeper sense of knowing. When you walk into a room, you can immediately sense how other people feel. You can read body language, facial expressions and tone of voice. Absorbing other people’s emotions and feelings feels like a burden. Sometimes you wonder if there is an "off" button that you haven't been able to find. Feeling other people’s feelings all the time is exhausting.
You are sensitive.
You are sensitive to clothing. Maybe you can only wear certain fabrics because they feel too itchy on your skin. You are sensitive to loud noises. What might seem quiet or normal to others seems loud to you. You are sensitive to being hungry or thirsty. And, you are easily “hangry” and need to make sure you have snacks on you at all times! You are sensitive to conflict. In fact, you hate when people argue and fight around you or are mad at you. You are sensitive to change. Which means you love your routine and what is familiar. Even if the change is for the best and will make your life better, change feels scary and unfamiliar.

Embodied Wellness, PLLC’s Approach to Empath Therapy
At Embodied Wellness, PLLC, we take a person-centered approach to empath therapy. We understand that empaths have their own unique experiences and needs. We have therapists who specialize in somatic therapy, which focuses on the mind-body connection. This therapy allows empaths and highly sensitive people to explore and process emotions stored in their bodies. EMDR can help address past traumas that may contribute to PTSD symptoms. Internal Family Systems help empaths identify and work with different "parts" of themselves. DBT teaches vital skills to handle strong emotions and improve relationships. CBT gives empaths and highly sensitive people helpful tools to find and change negative thoughts into positive ones. Our goal is to empower you to embrace your empathetic nature and provide useful strategies for managing your emotions.
