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.

Justin Mulder
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
Highly sensitive people should not be made to feel alone in this world. I approach our work together from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective. Rather than viewing it as something that needs to be “fixed,” I see it as a deeper way of thinking, processing, and engaging with the world. In our work together, we will look at how it shows up in your daily life trough things like self-criticism, emotional intensity, focus, motivation, and overwhelm. If you’ve spent a long time feeling like you’re the problem, therapy might be a place where that finally starts to change.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If you feel everything deeply, get overwhelmed easily, or need more downtime than others, you may not be “too much”—you may be highly sensitive. Therapy can help you regulate stimulation, set boundaries, and stop internalizing other people’s energy. You can build a life that fits your nervous system instead of constantly pushing past it.

Britney Victor
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
As an HSP you process stimuli deeply, which can lead to overwhelm in a loud world. I teach sensory-soothing, boundary setting, and nervous-system regulation tailored to sensitive nervous systems. Durham-area clients learn to turn sensitivity into a source of intuition, creativity, and authentic connection.

Ashleigh Bell
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
If you feel things “too deeply,” get overwhelmed in busy environments, or need more time to recharge, you may be a highly sensitive person. We’ll explore how your sensitivity shows up, protect your energy with boundaries and routines, and turn this trait into a strength rather than something to hide.

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.
