Natalie V. Bochenska
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCAT, Certified Somatic Practitioner
Being highly sensitive can mean experiencing emotions, relationships, and sensory environments more intensely than those around you. I help clients understand their sensitivity, recognize signs of overwhelm, and develop ways to support their nervous systems without suppressing who they are. Together, we explore how to honour your sensitivity while building boundaries, emotional resilience, and self-acceptance.

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.

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.

Rochelle Aljammas (Trauma, Relationship, BPD)
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., B.A. (Hons)
Being highly sensitive is a strength — great capacity for empathy, depth of perception, sensitivity to subtleties — but it often comes with overwhelm, self‑criticism, or feeling “too much” in some environments. If this is you, I’ll help you understand your sensitivity, manage overstimulation, set protective boundaries, pace yourself, and use your sensitivity as the gift it is rather than seeing it only as burden.

Abby Tait
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
If you’re highly sensitive, you likely notice more, feel more deeply, and take in the world in a way others don’t always understand. When it’s supported, this trait can bring intuition, empathy, and creativity. When it’s not, it can lead to stress, burnout, and a sense of being misunderstood. I work with adults who want to stop seeing their sensitivity as something to manage or hide, and start relating to it with more understanding and care. Using attachment and psychodynamic-informed approaches alongside Compassion-Focused Therapy, ACT, and DBT, we’ll work on setting boundaries, regulating overwhelm, and creating a life that honours how you’re wired.
