Andrea Town
Occupational Therapist, MScOT, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
Being a highly sensitive person is a gift and, at times, a challenge. Deep feeling, nuanced perception, and attunement to the world around you can lead to meaningful connection, but also to overwhelm, overstimulation, and self criticism. In Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and across Durham Region, I offer psychotherapy for adults who identify as highly sensitive. As a highly sensitive person myself, I understand this terrain. Drawing from Gestalt, mindfulness, compassion focused, and relational approaches, we honour your sensitivity as a strength while building tools to regulate, set boundaries, and rest.

Tamara Daniszewski
Registered Social Worker, M.ED, MSW, RSW
Highly sensitive people feel deeply, notice subtleties others miss and can become easily overwhelmed by noise, conflict or criticism. In therapy, we help you understand your sensitivity as a strength rather than a flaw, while building coping tools to protect your energy and nervous system. You can be sensitive and strong at the same time.

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.

Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
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.

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.
