Tamara Daniszewski
Registered Social Worker, M.ED, MSW, RSW
Highly sensitive people feel deeply, notice subtleties others miss and can become easily overwhelmed by noise, conflict or criticism. In therapy, we help you understand your sensitivity as a strength rather than a flaw, while building coping tools to protect your energy and nervous system. You can be sensitive and strong at the same time.

As an HSP, your nervous system processes the world more deeply. I help clients embrace this sensitivity as a strength while learning grounded ways to manage overwhelm and emotional intensity. Together, we build tools for balance, boundary-setting, and thriving rather than coping.

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.

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.

Amanda Neves Therapy + Associates
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Being highly sensitive can feel like both a gift and a challenge. Emotions, sensory input, and the feelings of others may feel overwhelming, leaving you drained or misunderstood. Our trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach helps you understand your sensitivity, regulate intense emotions, and embrace your depth as a strength. 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. Sessions are offered in-person in Toronto and virtually across Ontario, making support accessible wherever you are.

Yasmin Rombola-Bacchus
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, Registered Psychotherapist, Dipl. Psych.
If you’re deeply affected by the world around you, you might experience emotions and sensory input more intensely than others. I help clients embrace their sensitivity as a strength, while developing practical ways to protect their energy and maintain balance. This includes learning calming techniques and cultivating inner peace to thrive in everyday life.

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Being a Highly Sensitive Person doesn’t mean something is “wrong”; it means your nervous system processes the world more deeply and intensely. Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) support HSPs by helping regulate the activation that comes with overstimulation, strong emotions, and subtle shifts in the environment. SE brings more stability to the body by working with activation, overwhelm, and the tendency to freeze or shut down when things feel too much. ISP adds emotional capacity, helping you stay present with feelings and sensations without becoming flooded. Together, these approaches create more resilience, clearer boundaries, and a grounded sense of self, allowing sensitivity to become a strength rather than a source of exhaustion.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Being highly sensitive can be both a gift and a challenge. You may notice subtleties in your environment, feel emotions deeply, or become easily overwhelmed by stimuli, relationships, or stress. While these traits can foster empathy, creativity, and intuition, they can also lead to exhaustion, anxiety, or self-doubt if not well-managed.
In therapy, I help highly sensitive individuals understand and honor their unique traits, develop strategies for emotional regulation, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate resilience. Together, we focus on embracing sensitivity as a strength rather than a limitation.

Being a highly sensitive person can mean experiencing emotions deeply, noticing subtle details in your environment, and feeling easily overwhelmed by stimulation or stress. While sensitivity is also a strength, it can sometimes feel intense or exhausting. Therapy provides a validating space to better understand sensitivity, develop grounding and boundary-setting skills, and learn how to thrive while honouring your natural temperament.

Olga Lacroix
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, RSW, PCC
Highly sensitive individuals often experience emotions, environments, and relationships more intensely. While this sensitivity can be a strength, it can also lead to overwhelm, emotional fatigue, and difficulty setting boundaries. I help highly sensitive clients understand their nervous system, regulate emotional input, and develop tools to navigate life with greater balance, confidence, and self-compassion.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America outside of East Asia, with a majority Chinese population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, Apple, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
