Rachelle Tersigni
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I work with highly sensitive individuals who feel easily overwhelmed or emotionally impacted by their environment. Therapy focuses on nervous-system regulation, self-acceptance, and using sensitivity as a resource rather than a burden.

Sasha Golvin
Counsellor/Therapist, Counsellor/Drama Therapist, MA, CCC,
Often overwhelmed by the needs of others? Maybe you find yourself stuck in your own emotions and thoughts. Never able to really live in the here and now. Through expressive art therapy many of these stuck thoughts or feelings can be expressed and worked through. People pleasing tendencies are something I am also very comfterable exploring in sessions.

Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Being a Highly Sensitive Person means your nervous system is finely tuned to the world around you. While this can lead to deep empathy and creativity, it also means you might easily feel overstimulated by loud noises, bright lights, or the emotional energy of others. We focus on framing your sensitivity as a strength while developing "energy management" techniques to prevent burnout and help you navigate a world that can often feel "too loud."

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Being a Highly Sensitive Person doesn’t mean something is “wrong”; it means your nervous system processes the world more deeply and intensely. Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) support HSPs by helping regulate the activation that comes with overstimulation, strong emotions, and subtle shifts in the environment. SE brings more stability to the body by working with activation, overwhelm, and the tendency to freeze or shut down when things feel too much. ISP adds emotional capacity, helping you stay present with feelings and sensations without becoming flooded. Together, these approaches create more resilience, clearer boundaries, and a grounded sense of self, allowing sensitivity to become a strength rather than a source of exhaustion.

Montreal's bilingual, bicultural identity shapes its therapy landscape, with many therapists offering services in both French and English to serve the city's English-speaking communities alongside Quebec's Francophone majority. The city's large student population across McGill, Concordia, and Université de Montréal generates consistent demand for therapists addressing academic stress, young adult transitions, and identity. Montreal's arts and creative sector also sustains demand for therapists who understand the pressures of creative careers, financial precarity, and performance anxiety. The Douglas Mental Health University Institute provides major institutional mental health research and care, complemented by the city's extensive private and CLSC-based therapy network.
