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.
