Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Being a highly sensitive person often means experiencing the world—and emotions—more intensely, which can show up as overwhelm, tension, or sensory overload. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy engage both body and mind, helping highly sensitive individuals process emotions safely, regulate their nervous system, and cultivate resilience, grounding, and a deeper sense of self-understanding.

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.

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.

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.

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.
