Atlas Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
We support highly sensitive individuals in understanding and embracing their heightened emotional and sensory awareness as a strength rather than a burden. Through a compassionate, strengths-based approach, we help clients develop effective coping strategies for managing overwhelm, setting boundaries, regulating emotions, and navigating relationships and environments with greater ease. Our goal is to foster self-acceptance, resilience, and a more balanced, empowered way of living.

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.

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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you identify as a highly sensitive person, you may notice that you feel things deeply. You might pick up on subtle shifts in tone, atmosphere, or emotion that others seem to miss. While this sensitivity can be a strength, it can also feel overwhelming. You may become easily overstimulated, need more recovery time after social interactions, or struggle with boundaries because you are so attuned to others.
At Selah Counselling, we view high sensitivity as a trait, not a flaw. Your nervous system is wired to process information more deeply. Together, we work to understand how your sensitivity operates, strengthen regulation skills, and build clear boundaries that protect your energy. Our goal is to help you embrace your empathy and insight without becoming emotionally depleted. With practical tools and increased self-awareness, you can learn to honour your sensitivity while living with greater steadiness and confidence.

Amy Moroz
Psychologist, M.Ed.C.Psych. Clinical & Counselling Psychologist
I work well with highly sensitive individuals who often feel overwhelmed by emotion, overstimulated by their environment, or burdened by others' needs. Together, we slow things down and create a space where sensitivity is not a flaw, but a strength. Using emotion-focused, somatic, and mindfulness-based strategies, we explore protective patterns like people-pleasing or emotional suppression, and begin to reconnect with your inner clarity, boundaries, and self-worth.
