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.

I work well with highly sensitive individuals who often feel overwhelmed by emotion, overstimulated by their environment, or burdened by others' needs. Together, we slow things down and create a space where sensitivity is not a flaw, but a strength. Using emotion-focused, somatic, and mindfulness-based strategies, we explore protective patterns like people-pleasing or emotional suppression, and begin to reconnect with your inner clarity, boundaries, and self-worth.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Being highly sensitive is not a flaw, weakness, or something you simply need to “toughen up.” For many people, sensitivity can mean experiencing emotions, relationships, environments, and stress more deeply — which can be both meaningful and exhausting.
High sensitivity can also overlap with trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, sensory overwhelm, or years of feeling misunderstood, dismissed, or “too much.”
My approach is about helping you better understand your sensitivity, reduce shame, strengthen boundaries, and work with your nervous system rather than constantly against it. Together, we focus on building a life where your sensitivity can feel more like insight and strength — not just overwhelm.

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.

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Being a highly sensitive person can mean experiencing emotions deeply, noticing subtle details in your environment, and feeling easily overwhelmed by stimulation or stress.

Britney Victor
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW

True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
I specialize in supporting highly sensitive people to embrace their unique gifts while healing the overwhelm that often comes with heightened sensitivity. My approach explores root causes like internalized abuse, broken boundaries, or an overactivated nervous system from unsafe early environments, which can amplify feelings of overstimulation or hypervigilance. Together, we work on downregulating the nervous system, addressing enmeshment trauma, and building stronger boundaries. I also honour the spiritual purpose of sensitivity-its ability to deepen emotional awareness, somatic experiences, and spiritual growth. By aligning with a soul-centred lifestyle, I help highly sensitive individuals transform their vulnerabilities into strengths, finding balance and purpose in their sensitivity.

Ashleigh Bell
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
If you feel things “too deeply,” get overwhelmed in busy environments, or need more time to recharge, you may be a highly sensitive person. We’ll explore how your sensitivity shows up, protect your energy with boundaries and routines, and turn this trait into a strength rather than something to hide.

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Being a highly sensitive person can be both a gift and a challenge. You might feel deeply affected by your surroundings, easily overwhelmed by noise or conflict, and quick to notice the emotions of others. While your sensitivity allows for empathy, creativity, and depth, it can also lead to exhaustion or self-criticism in a world that often feels too loud. In therapy, we’ll explore how to understand and honour your sensitivity as a strength, develop tools for emotional regulation and boundaries, and create space for rest and self-acceptance. Together, we’ll help your sensitivity feel like something to embrace, not something to manage.

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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you identify as a highly sensitive person, you may notice that you feel things deeply. You might pick up on subtle shifts in tone, atmosphere, or emotion that others seem to miss. While this sensitivity can be a strength, it can also feel overwhelming. You may become easily overstimulated, need more recovery time after social interactions, or struggle with boundaries because you are so attuned to others.
At Selah Counselling, we view high sensitivity as a trait, not a flaw. Your nervous system is wired to process information more deeply. Together, we work to understand how your sensitivity operates, strengthen regulation skills, and build clear boundaries that protect your energy. Our goal is to help you embrace your empathy and insight without becoming emotionally depleted. With practical tools and increased self-awareness, you can learn to honour your sensitivity while living with greater steadiness and confidence.
