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.

David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
In uncertain times, it is common to feel overwhelmed by difficulties and feel stuck in a cycle of challenges in the 6 general arenas of human experience: habituated repertoire of thoughts, emotions, soma, behaviours, situations, and environment. Many of the problems we experience are not our fault, but they can still have a significant impact on our mental health and well-being. As a psychotherapist with 27 years of experience in Toronto, I have helped countless individuals effectively and quickly resolve a variety of issues, including self-other relationship stressors, trauma from sexual abuse, emotional regulation, feelings of betrayal and abandonment, social anxiety, self-blame, self-esteem issues, motivation problems, and mis-transits of anger, shame and grief.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP
*Accepting New Clients* I believe that our healing begins with both safety and support. As a therapist, I strive to provide a nurturing environment where you can feel accepted and empowered to explore your stories and experiences. My journey towards becoming a psychotherapist began with my own mental health struggles relating to trauma and addiction. Those experiences of recovery and healing helped me discover the healing power of relationships. I work with individuals aged 14+ and couples and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the proper fit for your journey.

Sara Tawadros
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Div in Clinical Counselling
Sometimes life can be very challenging, sometimes we feel like we are lost, unable to feel like ourselves, and struggling to enjoy life. Maybe an important relationship seems to be falling apart, or the loss of a loved one has brought about unbearable feelings of grief. Maybe a life transition is causing feelings of anxiety, depression, or inadequacy.
Whatever the reason, when painful emotions arise within, it can be hard to see a way forward, it can be difficult to experience hope. Thankfully this does not need to last forever. Together we can explore those emotions, understand their reason and work towards acquiring healthy coping skills. Such skills can help us manage life, allowing for a space to experience the beauty and wonder that life can bring.
I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for my clients to gain insight, recognize and explore their strengths and work towards reaching their full potential.
I am passionate about helping individuals wrestling with depression, grief, and postpartum difficulties, as well as individuals desiring to build a better self-image, develop confidence and effectively manage life transitions. I am also passionate about working with couples who desire to improve their relationship and those who are preparing for marriage.
I offer a 15-minute free initial consultation, so if you are wondering whether therapy would be beneficial to you or if we would be a good fit, schedule a call, and I would be happy to answer your questions.
