Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel easily overwhelmed, deeply affected by your environment, or emotionally impacted by situations others seem to brush off? Many highly sensitive people grow up learning to downplay their reactions or push through overstimulation because they’re told they’re “too much”, “too sensitive”, or need to toughen up. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion, self-doubt, or disconnection from your needs.
Sensitivity is not a flaw—it’s a trait rooted in depth of processing, awareness, and empathy. What matters is how you care for yourself when stimulation and emotions arise. Together, we can explore how your sensitivity shows up, understand what your nervous system needs, and develop ways to live that honour your depth rather than drain it—so you can feel more regulated, confident, and lighter in your day-to-day life. You experience the world deeply for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

16 Years Experience
Online in Gatineau, QC Quebec (Online Only)
Gatineau sits directly across the Ottawa River from Canada's capital and functions as the Quebec side of the Ottawa-Gatineau National Capital Region, with a predominantly French-speaking population of federal government workers who access many services in both official languages. The city's identity is distinct from Ottawa — more working-class and francophone in character — and French-language therapy is the norm, with access to English-speaking practitioners limited relative to the Ontario side of the river. CISSS de l'Outaouais provides public mental health resources, and many Gatineau residents access the broader Ottawa-Gatineau therapy ecosystem via the bridges connecting both cities. Therapists here frequently encounter the stresses of public service careers, bilingual professional demands, and the particular challenges of raising families in a bicultural, bilingual metro area.
