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.

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.

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.

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.

Kati Dobrei
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
As an HSP myself, I understand both the gifts and challenges that sensitivity can bring. Through my own therapeutic journey and clinical work, I've come to see sensitivity not as something to "fix," but as a strength that can be harnessed while learning to navigate the overwhelm that sometimes comes with it.

Britney Victor
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
As an HSP you process stimuli deeply, which can lead to overwhelm in a loud world. I teach sensory-soothing, boundary setting, and nervous-system regulation tailored to sensitive nervous systems. Durham-area clients learn to turn sensitivity into a source of intuition, creativity, and authentic connection.

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.

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.
