Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
As a neurodivergent clinician, I bring lived experience and a trauma-focused approach to supporting autistic people. Being autistic can shape how you experience and process emotions, navigate relationships, and understand your internal world. You may have spent years feeling misunderstood, masking, or navigating experiences that have taken an emotional toll. My approach draws on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic approaches to help you process difficult experiences, work through trauma, and develop greater emotional regulation. Therapy is adapted to your needs, with the goal of helping you feel less burdened by difficult experiences, more emotionally regulated, and more at ease with yourself.

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Therapy for autistic adults focuses on understanding your own neurotype without pathologizing it, while addressing co-occurring anxiety, burnout, or masking fatigue. Support is tailored to how you process the world, not a one-size-fits-all model.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed perspective ASD, like ADHD, is understood as whole mind and body dysregulation that results in an inability to quiet all of the noise internally and externally which creates difficulty in directing focus, starting, switching, and completing tasks, and organizing information in clear ways. ASD is not a maladaptive brain, it is a response to trauma (biological/mental/emotional) that has changed the way the brain and nervous system receive information. The work we can do will be to help you better understand your ADHD, learn how to work with your brain and body in ways that are more functional for your ASD, and resolve the root of what is driving the dysregulation in the first place.

Autism
Haimove Amir
Registered Psychotherapist, psychotherapist
I provide individualized, neurodiversity-informed support for autistic children, teens, and adults, including individuals who identify with or have previously been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. My approach focuses on understanding the person rather than defining them by a diagnosis. Therapy may address communication, emotional regulation, anxiety, social relationships, self-confidence, sensory experiences, daily challenges, and family relationships. With children, I may use play-based and creative approaches to support communication and emotional expression. I also work with parents and families to better understand their child's strengths and needs and develop practical strategies that support connection, confidence, and meaningful participation in everyday life.
