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.

Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
I provide a warm, respectful, and neurodiversity-affirming space for clients on the autism spectrum, including those who identify with Asperger’s. I understand that each individual experiences the world differently and believe that therapy should celebrate those differences rather than try to change them.
Using an integrative approach I support clients in developing practical coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and enhancing communication and social skills in ways that feel authentic and empowering. My approach focuses on identifying personal strengths, building confidence, and supporting self-advocacy.
I strive to offer a compassionate and accepting environment where neurodivergent clients can explore challenges, nurture self-understanding, and build meaningful, fulfilling lives—on their own terms.
