About Danièle Massie, RP

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) specializing in working with adults who have a Sensory Processing Sensitivity, a normal, innate, genetic trait in 20-30% of the population. As an HSP - Highly Sensitive Person myself, I am the founder of Moving To Change Psychotherapy, as well as a Certified Gestalt Therapist (Gestalt Institute of Toronto), Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner (trained with Dr. Kate Truitt), and Emotional Freedom Techniques™ Level II Practitioner. I offer short and long-term individual therapy sessions, as well as workshops for HSPs interested in a creative, present-centered, neuroscience-informed bodymind approach to therapy and personal change. I work in both French and English and have been in private practice in downtown Toronto since 2005.

My approach integrates over 35 years of personal and professional development including contemplative movement, the integration of creative arts, and meditation practices including mindfulness in everyday living. My work is rooted in the fields of attachment theory, trauma recovery, and healing the transmission of intergenerational trauma.

I am moved and inspired by the courage, creativity, resilience and tenacity of my clients as they seek to experience more authenticity, vitality, and lasting change in their lives.
