Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
If you have been told your whole life that you are "too sensitive," "too dramatic," or that you "take things too personally," you may be navigating the world as a Highly Sensitive Person. Being an HSP is not a diagnosis; it is a unique nervous system trait that allows you to process information deeply. However, in a world that is often loud and fast-paced, this can lead to chronic overstimulation, social exhaustion, and a deep sense of being misunderstood.
Using an IFS and relational approach, we will work to unpack the impact of growing up sensitive in a neurotypical world. We’ll get to know the parts of you that have learned to "mask" or hide your sensitivity to fit in. By weaving in psychodynamic insights and self-compassion, I help you move from a state of sensory and emotional overwhelm to one of self-acceptance. Together, we will focus on honoring your boundaries, protecting your energy, and reclaiming the strengths of your sensitivity—such as your deep empathy, intuition, and creativity.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If you feel everything deeply, get overwhelmed easily, or need more downtime than others, you may not be “too much”—you may be highly sensitive. Therapy can help you regulate stimulation, set boundaries, and stop internalizing other people’s energy. You can build a life that fits your nervous system instead of constantly pushing past it.

Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, GIT.Dip, CAPT, CRPO
If you identify as highly sensitive or easily overwhelmed, you may find yourself constantly pushing past your limits in order to keep up, connect, or meet expectations. What can feel like “too much” is often your system responding intelligently to the demands around you. In our work together, we slow down and explore how stress, burnout, and overstimulation show up in your body, your relationships, and your familiar ways of responding. I’ve spent much of my career as a movement and somatic educator exploring “grounding” techniques that help modulate sensitivity, and we can certainly draw on these techniques to explore what supports work best for you. However, our focus won’t necessarily be on making you less sensitive. (How has your sensitivity been a super-power? When has your sense-ability saved your life? Who needed you to be the feeler so that they didn't have to feel?) Rather, we can focus on helping you pay attention to your body’s your signals, honour your limits (limits actually give us freedom!), and rebuild sustainable capacity. This embodied, relational approach supports you in reconnecting with your sense of aliveness, developing clearer boundaries, and finding ways to fully engage with life while honouring your ability to sense-inwardly and sense-outwardly.

Using Attachment-Focused Therapy, AEDP, and IFS, we explore relational patterns, self-criticism, and stress responses, creating a safe space to cultivate self-compassion, resilience, and balance.

*Welcoming New Ontario-based Clients for Online Work*
I offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can slow down, feel into your experience, and reconnect with yourself.
I offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can slow down, feel into your experience, and reconnect with yourself.
You may feel the world deeply, noticing subtle shifts in mood, environment, and relationships. While this sensitivity can be a source of insight and empathy, it can also feel overwhelming in a fast-moving and demanding world.
In our work together, we’ll move at a pace that respects your nervous system. Through gentle awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, we’ll explore how your sensitivity shows up in your life and relationships. My approach is embodied and relational, weaving together the wisdom of your mind and body within a supportive therapeutic space.
Rather than trying to change your sensitivity, we’ll explore it together, helping you feel steady, clear, and able to embrace your attunement to the world as a strength.
If my approach resonates, I'd love for you to visit my website (molliepfendt.ca) to learn more or reach out to schedule a consultation call.

Justin Mulder
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Highly sensitive people should not be made to feel alone in this world. I approach our work together from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective. Rather than viewing it as something that needs to be “fixed,” I see it as a deeper way of thinking, processing, and engaging with the world. In our work together, we will look at how it shows up in your daily life trough things like self-criticism, emotional intensity, focus, motivation, and overwhelm. If you’ve spent a long time feeling like you’re the problem, therapy might be a place where that finally starts to change.

As a highly sensitive person, life can feel overwhelming. Learning more about your own wonderful, and unique idiosyncrasies can nurture a deep self-respect and acceptance that can ground and stabilize even the most highly sensitive individuals. If you're looking for therapy to work on difficulties surrounding sensitivities please don't hesitate to reach out, it'd be wonderful to connect.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
As a highly sensitive person, you may experience emotions deeply and be especially attuned to the needs, moods, and expectations of those around you. While this awareness can be a gift, it can also make it difficult to separate your own feelings from those of others, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, drained, or unsure of what you need.
In therapy, we can explore how your sensitivity shapes your experiences and relationships, helping you build a stronger connection to your own needs, emotions, and intuition.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel easily overwhelmed, deeply affected by your environment, or emotionally impacted by situations others seem to brush off? Many highly sensitive people grow up learning to downplay their reactions or push through overstimulation because they’re told they’re “too much”, “too sensitive”, or need to toughen up. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion, self-doubt, or disconnection from your needs.
Sensitivity is not a flaw—it’s a trait rooted in depth of processing, awareness, and empathy. What matters is how you care for yourself when stimulation and emotions arise. Together, we can explore how your sensitivity shows up, understand what your nervous system needs, and develop ways to live that honour your depth rather than drain it—so you can feel more regulated, confident, and lighter in your day-to-day life. You experience the world deeply for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I support highly sensitive people by honoring their deep emotional attunement as a strength, not a flaw. Through a psychodynamic lens, we explore how early experiences may have shaped sensitivity into self-protection, hypervigilance, or self-silencing. Together, we create a space where your inner world can be safely explored—making room for clearer boundaries, self-trust, and a more grounded sense of identity.

Burlington is one of the most affluent cities in the Greater Toronto Area — situated between Hamilton and Oakville along the western shore of Lake Ontario — with a largely White, upper-middle-class population and a therapy culture shaped by the stresses of high-income suburban family life, corporate careers, and the pressure to maintain prosperity across generations. Joseph Brant Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving the Alton Village, Tansley, and Millcroft neighborhoods. Burlington's relative homogeneity is changing as immigration diversifies the population, with growing South Asian and East Asian communities beginning to shape a broader range of therapy demand. The city's proximity to Hamilton's therapy ecosystem and the broader GTA network means specialist care is generally accessible for those willing to travel or use telehealth.
