About Rachel Wilson, LCSW, C-IAYT
Somatic Trauma Therapist for Sensitive High Acheivers
For sensitive high-achievers who feel everything deeply — and care even more.
You’re the person who gets things done.
The one colleagues rely on, leaders trust, and friends turn to because you’re capable, insightful, and always paying attention to what others miss.
And even though you look composed and successful on the outside, you’re often carrying the weight of constant expectations—deadlines, decisions, emotional labor, and the pressure to perform at a level most people will never understand.
Some days you can keep pace.
Other days your nervous system feels stretched thin, your emotions simmer just below the surface, and your body makes it clear you’ve pushed too hard for too long.
If you’re a highly sensitive professional navigating a high-pressure career, hear this clearly:
There is nothing wrong with you.
Your sensitivity isn’t a liability—it’s the source of your intuition, depth, and leadership.
You just haven’t been taught how to work with it instead of against it.
That’s where I come in.
Hi, I’m Rachel Wilson(she/her),
With nearly 20 years of experience in trauma healing, I’ve supported people who carry invisible burdens—highly sensitive professionals who excel at work, care deeply for others, and still feel disconnected from themselves beneath the surface.
I love working with sensitive, driven people because you have an extraordinary capacity for insight, depth, intuition, and transformation—but trauma, chronic stress, and over-responsibility can dull that inner clarity. Helping you reconnect with it is some of my favorite work.
I offer trauma therapy, somatic therapy, and therapy for HSPs in California and Minnesota, drawing from:
Nervous system attunement
Somatic and body-based trauma healing
Trauma-informed, relational care
Approaches that honor sensitivity as wisdom—not weakness
If you’re a sensitive high-achiever, you might be…
Holding it all together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed inside
Exhausted from caring so much—for your clients, family, community, and work
Struggling to set boundaries without guilt
Feeling disconnected from your body or intuition
Stuck in patterns of overthinking, overworking, or overresponsibility
Longing for more ease, connection, and emotional spaciousness
Wanting support, but unsure how to let yourself receive it
You don’t have to do your healing alone. You shouldn’t have to suffer in silence.
How We’ll Work Together
My approach centers your lived experience, honors your pace, and gives you practical tools to regulate your nervous system so you can feel more grounded and empowered.
You can expect:
Somatic support that helps you reconnect with your body
Gentle, trauma-informed practices that build awareness, resilience, and trust in your own signals.
Therapy that understands high sensitivity
We’ll explore how your sensitivity shows up in your relationships, work, body, and emotional world—without pathologizing it.
A collaborative process that moves at your speed
We work together to transform patterns of overdoing, self-pressure, and self-neglect into clarity, boundaries, and self-connection.
A space where you don’t have to perform
You get to rest, feel, breathe, and show up just as you are
When your nervous system is supported, your whole life shifts. Clients often share that they:
-
Feel more grounded and less overwhelmed
-
Respond to stress with more clarity and intention
-
Build healthier, more connected relationships
-
Reclaim their inner wisdom and self-trust
-
Experience more joy, presence, and emotional spaciousness
-
Trust themselves to make decisions without second-guessing or overanalyzing
