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.

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."

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.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
As a highly sensitive person, you may experience emotions deeply and be especially attuned to the needs, moods, and expectations of those around you. While this awareness can be a gift, it can also make it difficult to separate your own feelings from those of others, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, drained, or unsure of what you need.
In therapy, we can explore how your sensitivity shapes your experiences and relationships, helping you build a stronger connection to your own needs, emotions, and intuition.

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.
