Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
I provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), including those previously diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. My approach focuses on understanding each person's unique strengths, challenges, and experiences while helping them navigate emotional regulation, anxiety, social relationships, communication difficulties, and life transitions. Using evidence-informed therapeutic approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to develop practical coping strategies, build self-confidence, and enhance their overall well-being and quality of life.

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.

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.

Kevin Greene, Health & Happiness: Counselling and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
I work with high functioning individuals with Autism/Asperger's and try to help them manage their anxiety while learning social norms that might be a challenge for them. Many people lose sight of the fact that a person with Austim/Asperger's has the potential to fit into society and thrive. What they sometimes need is a person to help them navigate their way.

Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future Counselling Centre, we provide compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming care for children, youth, and adults on the Autism spectrum (including what was traditionally diagnosed as Asperger's). Drawing on over 20 years of clinical experience, my approach focuses on celebrating unique cognitive profiles while providing practical, evidence-based tools to navigate a world that is often not built for neurodivergent minds.
For autistic children and youth, challenges often manifest around school transitions, sensory processing overload, social communication, and intense emotional regulation hurdles. In our sessions, I integrate specialized play-based techniques, creative art therapy, and tailored Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. This allows young clients to safely explore social dynamics, build self-regulation strategies, and reduce the deep exhaustion caused by social masking.
We also work closely with families through parent coaching to create supportive, predictable home environments that minimize meltdowns and reinforce communication. For adult individuals on the spectrum, our focus shifts to mastery over executive dysfunction, cultivating relationships, and navigating major life transitions with confidence. Let's work together to unlock your or your child's full potential—contact me today for a free 15-minute consultation.

Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopment disorder that impairs a person’s ability in communication, interpersonal interactions, and as a result, daily functioning. ASD can usually be detected within the first 3 years of life, during early childhood development. The effects of ASD can differ from person to person depending on the severity of their condition, their development level, and their age.
Asperger syndrome is a disorder on the Autism Spectrum, that affects a person’s functional and social development. These people often find it challenging to work in collaborative and busy environments and thus require a lot of support from people close to them.
