Therapy for Highly Sensitive People with ADHD
Set healthy boundaries
We help highly sensitive people Set healthy boundaries
Does This Sound Familiar?
You're a highly sensitive person or empath with a tendency to say "yes" too much. You struggle with things like people pleasing, setting healthy boundaries, and regulating your big emotions.
This might look like time-blindness, anxiety, impulsivity self-sabotage, overwhelm or overthinking. Maybe for you it's anxiety, ADHD, low self esteem, overdrinking, procrastination, and feeling like you're continually living in a trauma response.
You have read the self-help books, tried things like positive thinking, you've taken meds, tried journaling, saved all the Instagram therapy reels - but you still feel stuck.
Often, this can show up as difficulties in interpersonal relationships - either being attracted to the wrong people or being unable to find fulfillment in your existing relationships.
Maybe you've even tried therapy before, but felt like you were just talking about your problems instead of actually. moving through them. It's not your fault - what you need is a therapist who ACTUALLY understands your unique, neurodivergent brain.
If you can relate, we can help.

Custom Treatment For Every Client
Every client is unique and requires a personalized level of care. Our approach is tailored to your your historical lived experiences and your present day internal conflicts, while being anchored in your vision, dreams, and goals for your life. Overall, our methodology is three-fold, and is grounded in three central pillars:
Trauma-Informed
Trauma isn't what happened to us - it's what happens inside of us as a result of what happened to us. Taking a non-pathological lens to therapy, our approach is rooted in attachment theory with an emphasis on the brain-body connection and nervous system regulation.
Neuroscience Based
Trauma is stored in the body, but it's held in there by the brain. We understand that our thoughts and beliefs create our feelings, and when left unconscious or unquestioned, these maladaptive thoughts will run our lives, keeping us stuck in patterns of unproductive behaviour.
Solutions Focused
t's important to heal the root of our trauma. And, it's also important that our clients feel better sooner rather than later. We believe in teaching our clients the skills required to take loving action in spite of negative emotion.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Therapists who actually understand ADHD...finally
Arianna B.2023-10-31I want to say thank you True Self Counselling. 🙏 The sessions with my therapist have given me strength, courage and clarity. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking counselling and therapy.
Felix Rios2023-10-30My experience with True Self Counselling was unmatched, they were able to get myself and my daughter in for therapy sessions without a long wait list, and we both love our therapists!
Sarah Rathburn2023-10-30Jaclyn is one of the best therapists I’ve encountered in my 12 years in private practice. Not only is she brilliant, but she conceptualizes cases in a very holistic way with a depth of analysis that I don’t often see. Add to that her natural curiosity and passion for honing her craft and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
