Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, RCC, RCC-ACS (c), DCP(c), ADHD-CCSP
As someone with lived neurodivergent experience, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to notice everything, feel deeply, and absorb the emotional or sensory intensity around you. I support highly sensitive adults in building boundaries, reducing self-criticism, and honouring their sensitivity without feeling consumed by it.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
Many individuals will immediately resonate with being highly sensitive, but may not fully understand the meaning or impact of this trait on overall wellness. You might have grown up hearing that you are "too sensitive", or have always had a vague sense that you were different or misunderstood. For Highly Sensitive Persons, chronic stress and overstimulation can take a real toll on both mind and body. I use a combination of evidence-based mind-body strategies, somatic awareness, and practical coping tools to help you regulate your system, reduce overwhelm, and feel more grounded and capable in daily life.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
People are wired different. And for some their more finely tuned systems can lead to a more intense way of relating to their environment...and this can be exhuasting! Incorporating a neuro-science backed, collaborative approach to well-being, you will come away from sessions with a clearer understanding of how you can utilize your unique wiring in a way that leads to more satisfaction, fulfillment, and freedom.

Rosemary Laurel
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
It's like living in a whole different reality from other people, being a highly sensitive person. Often highly sensitive people are also very intuitive and empathic. This can be amazing, but you might also feel like your energy isn't your own and you are absorbing other people's stuff.
I bridge the worlds of energy and neurodivergence. I identify as AuDHD and HSP, and also a starseed and lightworker. These paradigms don't have to be separate.

Barbara (Barchi) Fojkar
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist
Experiencing the world deeply can be both a strength and a challenge. If you identify as highly sensitive, I offer a space where your sensitivity doesn't need to be changed or minimized. Together, we can explore overwhelm, boundaries, emotional regulation, relationships, and ways to honour your sensitivity while feeling more grounded in yourself.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Being a highly sensitive person can feel both like a strength and a challenge. You may notice that you experience things deeply, feel emotions intensely, and are more impacted by your environment or the energy of others. While this sensitivity can bring empathy, insight, and creativity, it can also lead to feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or hard on yourself for not being able to “handle” things in the same way as others.
In our work together, I will create a space to better understand and support you. Through a trauma-informed and attachment-focused lens, we’ll explore how your nervous system responds to the world around you and develop ways to feel more grounded, regulated, and self-accepting. My approach is gentle and collaborative, helping you build boundaries, process emotions, and reconnect with your sensitivity as a meaningful and valuable part of who you are.
I draw from approaches such as IFS, ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, EMDR, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll develop practical tools to navigate overwhelm while also supporting deeper healing and a stronger sense of self-trust.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
As a highly sensitive person, you may feel emotions deeply, become easily overwhelmed by stress or conflict, and spend a great deal of time overthinking or worrying about others. Together, we'll help you better understand your sensitivity, develop healthy boundaries, manage emotional overwhelm, and embrace your strengths without feeling like you have to change who you are. My goal is to help you feel more confident, balanced, and empowered so your sensitivity becomes a source of resilience rather than exhaustion.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Moving through a highly stimulating world with a porous nervous system is amplified exponentially when you are also navigating marginalised identities. As an online therapist in BC who works with heightened sensory and energetic attunement, I offer specialized support for sensitive individuals who are tired of trying to desensitize themselves to survive. Our relational work focuses on honouring your deep capacity for feeling, reframing your sensitivity as a vital form of embodied knowing, and protecting your energetic boundaries.

Coquitlam is one of Metro Vancouver's Tri-Cities communities, a rapidly growing suburb that has attracted a large and diverse immigrant population—particularly from China, South Korea, and Iran—making it one of the most multicultural communities in the greater Vancouver area and creating significant demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapy. Fraser Health provides public mental health services, and access to Vancouver's much broader private therapy market—either in person or via telehealth—gives Coquitlam residents a wide range of options for culturally matched practitioners. The city's rapid growth and its character as a first landing point for many new Canadians means that acculturation stress, immigration transition, and intergenerational family dynamics are among the most common presenting concerns in local therapy practices. Common therapy concerns also include anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and the challenges of navigating Canadian institutions and community life in a new country.
