Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Being a Highly Sensitive Person means your nervous system is finely tuned to the world around you. While this can lead to deep empathy and creativity, it also means you might easily feel overstimulated by loud noises, bright lights, or the emotional energy of others. We focus on framing your sensitivity as a strength while developing "energy management" techniques to prevent burnout and help you navigate a world that can often feel "too loud."

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From one highly sensitive person to another, it can be a crazy world out there. Two things that I've found helpful:
1st, resiliency training: Although our bodies can react to things that other people might brush off, Somatic Experiencing can help build up our ability to settle our stress and activation levels. That party might still be uncomfortably loud, but it's more tolerable when you have confidence that you can quickly find comfort again once you leave.
2nd: Boundary training and asking for what you want: As we get better at knowing what would help us feel more comfortable, and better at asking for it, we can start to re-shape our environment to feel better. Then as we feel better, and as our loved ones know how to help us, we are more resourceful, more able to connect with others, and more able to be the people we want to be in the world.

Rachelle Tersigni
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I work with highly sensitive individuals who feel easily overwhelmed or emotionally impacted by their environment. Therapy focuses on nervous-system regulation, self-acceptance, and using sensitivity as a resource rather than a burden.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
A highly sensitive person has a sensory processing sensitivity trait that allows them to process physical, social, and emotional stimuli at a much deeper level than non-highly sensitive individuals. It is not a medical illness or disorder, and about 15-20% of people have this trait. HSP's are more susceptible to get drained quickly from busy schedules and overstimulation, be their own worst critic, and internalize negativity if they are unaware of how to protect their mental health, which can lead them to acquire any of a number of unhelpful issues. Rapid Transformational Therapy helps to provide relief from many of the issues that an HSP might be affected by, such as anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, depression, perfectionism, and poor stress-coping by implementing helpful suggestions directly to the subconscious of such things as: having powerful coping skills, suggestions of worth and value and purpose, empowerment beliefs, etc. Being an HSP myself, I have insight and experience as to what another highly sensitive person may need, and can provide ongoing support.

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.
