Rebekah Wright
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Being a highly sensitive person can involve deep emotional processing and heightened awareness of internal and external experiences. I help clients understand and work with their sensitivity rather than against it. Therapy focuses on regulation, boundaries, and using sensitivity as a strength.

Mollie Pfendt
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist
*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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Highly sensitive people feel emotions deeply and naturally absorb the pain around them, often experiencing hurt more intensely. Healing means honoring that sensitivity, safely expressing emotions, and developing self-compassion and supportive relationships.

While this sensitivity can be a strength, it can also lead to overwhelm, emotional fatigue, and difficulty setting boundaries.

Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy engage both body and mind, helping highly sensitive individuals process emotions safely, regulate their nervous system, and cultivate resilience, grounding, and a deeper sense of self-understanding.

Vaughan is one of Canada's fastest-growing cities and part of the Greater Toronto Area's northern expansion, with a large Italian-Canadian community alongside growing South Asian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern populations creating a diverse and evolving therapy demand. The city's relative newness as a major population center means its private therapy infrastructure is still developing, and many residents access care in Toronto or through telehealth. Mackenzie Health's Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital — one of Canada's newest major hospitals — provides institutional resources, and the broader GTA ecosystem of therapists is accessible for those willing to travel or use online platforms. Vaughan's affluent suburban character means therapy is financially accessible for many, though stigma barriers in some cultural communities remain a consideration.
