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.

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.

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.

Michelle Hannah

If you feel deeply, process intensely, or get overwhelmed in environments others find easy, sensitivity may be part of your wiring—not a flaw. I help HSPs understand their emotional landscape, set boundaries, and navigate life with more steadiness and self-acceptance.

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.

True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
I specialize in supporting highly sensitive people to embrace their unique gifts while healing the overwhelm that often comes with heightened sensitivity. My approach explores root causes like internalized abuse, broken boundaries, or an overactivated nervous system from unsafe early environments, which can amplify feelings of overstimulation or hypervigilance. Together, we work on downregulating the nervous system, addressing enmeshment trauma, and building stronger boundaries. I also honour the spiritual purpose of sensitivity-its ability to deepen emotional awareness, somatic experiences, and spiritual growth. By aligning with a soul-centred lifestyle, I help highly sensitive individuals transform their vulnerabilities into strengths, finding balance and purpose in their sensitivity.

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.

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.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Being highly sensitive can mean feeling deeply affected by emotions, conflict, sensory input, criticism, or the needs of others. While sensitivity can be a strength, it may also become overwhelming without support and boundaries. Therapy can help you better understand your nervous system, honour your sensitivity, and build tools for grounding and self-care.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Being highly sensitive can be both a gift and a challenge. You may notice subtleties in your environment, feel emotions deeply, or become easily overwhelmed by stimuli, relationships, or stress. While these traits can foster empathy, creativity, and intuition, they can also lead to exhaustion, anxiety, or self-doubt if not well-managed.
In therapy, I help highly sensitive individuals understand and honor their unique traits, develop strategies for emotional regulation, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate resilience. Together, we focus on embracing sensitivity as a strength rather than a limitation.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
