Haimove Amir
Registered Psychotherapist, psychotherapist
I believe therapy begins with being genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. My work is grounded in the belief that every child, teenager, adult, and family has unique strengths, experiences, and needs that deserve to be respected.
I am Amir Haimove, founder of Autism Center for Kids, with more than 20 years of experience working with children, families, autism, ADHD, developmental challenges, and emotional and social needs. My background in child development has shaped an approach that looks beyond a diagnosis or a particular behaviour and seeks to understand the person behind it.
I provide individualized, compassionate therapy and support for children, teens, and families, with a particular focus on autism, ADHD, anxiety, emotional regulation, social challenges, and developmental concerns. My therapeutic work may incorporate approaches such as play therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, art therapy, and other developmentally appropriate interventions depending on the individual's needs and goals.
For autistic children, I believe therapy should respect neurodiversity and support genuine communication, emotional development, confidence, relationships, and independence rather than simply focusing on making a child appear or behave differently. Play, connection, creativity, and relationships can provide powerful opportunities for children to express themselves and develop new skills.
I also work with parents and families because meaningful change often happens when caregivers feel supported and better understand their child's experiences. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative environment where families can explore concerns, develop practical strategies, and build stronger relationships.
Whether someone is seeking support for a child, teenager, or themselves, I want therapy to feel like a place where they can be understood without judgment and supported at their own pace. My goal is not to provide a one-size-fits-all solution, but to work collaboratively with each person and family to develop meaningful, individualized support.
My practice is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and empowered, no matter their challenges. I specialize in working with clients facing anxiety, trauma, social-emotional difficulties, autism, ADHD, and family transitions. Through online and in-person therapy, I aim to create personalized and meaningful therapeutic relationships that foster long-term resilience and emotional well-being.
At Tikvah, we are proud to support a wide range of communities, including newcomers, refugees, and families from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. My work is not only a profession—it is a calling to help people find hope, strength, and transformation through therapy.

Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.
