Amanda Neves Therapy + Associates
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Being highly sensitive can feel like both a gift and a challenge. Emotions, sensory input, and the feelings of others may feel overwhelming, leaving you drained or misunderstood. Our trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach helps you understand your sensitivity, regulate intense emotions, and embrace your depth as a strength. 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.

Jose Luis Lopez Vargas
Registered Psychotherapist, RP.
Sensitivity is welcomed as a strength. I help highly sensitive clients understand their sensory and emotional boundaries, recognize overload signals in their bodies, and develop supportive strategies to regulate stimulation. The work emphasizes self-acceptance, clear limits, and honouring your depth of perception.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
As a highly sensitive person, you may experience emotions deeply and be especially attuned to the needs, moods, and expectations of those around you. While this awareness can be a gift, it can also make it difficult to separate your own feelings from those of others, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, drained, or unsure of what you need.
In therapy, we can explore how your sensitivity shapes your experiences and relationships, helping you build a stronger connection to your own needs, emotions, and intuition.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
As an HSP, your nervous system processes the world more deeply. I help clients embrace this sensitivity as a strength while learning grounded ways to manage overwhelm and emotional intensity. Together, we build tools for balance, boundary-setting, and thriving rather than coping.

Clayre Sessoms
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.

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.

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.

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.
