Therapy for the Highly Sensitive

Gentle & affirming therapy for children, teens, & adults who feel deeply.

Welcome!

My name is Katie Lysak,

I'm a Registered Social Worker offering therapy for highly sensitive and deeply feeling individuals. My practice is anti-oppressive, neurodiverse affirming, and rooted in trauma-informed care. Whether you're navigating intense emotions, a perinatal journey, or just seeking relief, I'm here to help.

How I Can Support You

Perinatal Mental Health

You don't have to do this alone.

Support for new, expectant, or grieving parents navigating mood shifts, identity changes, or emotional overwhelm.

 

Common concerns:

  • Postpartum anxiety

  • Intrusive thoughts

  • Overwhelm

  • Loss of identity

Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy

​A space that honours your unique wiring.

Whether you're late-diagnosed or exploring your neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, SPD, HSP), I provide sensory-informed, non-pathologizing care that respects your lived experience.

Common themes:

  • Masking

  • Burnout

  • Executive function

  • Self-acceptance

  • Self-compassion

Trauma & Emotional Safety

​Healing is possible - and it doesn't have to hurt more first. 

Together we explore your past gently and at your pace, using trauma-informed approaches that prioritize emotional regulation and body awareness.

 

Includes:

  • Attachment wounds

  • Relational trauma

  • Emotional neglect

  • Shutdown/freeze responses

"There is no right way to be a person. Your brain is not a problem to fix - it's a story to understand and embrace."
