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.

Kalyna Scherbluk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or unsure of who you are anymore? Maybe you're navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or relationship challenges. You might feel lost in transition—grappling with a recent change, a difficult past, or trying to break free from behaviours that leave you feeling disconnected. These emotions can be heavy and confusing, and it’s okay if you’re not sure where to start. I’m here to help you make sense of what you're feeling and why. Therapy with me offers a compassionate, person-centred space where your story is honoured and explored with curiosity, not judgment. With training in Emotion-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based, CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, increase self-understanding, and work toward the emotional clarity and change you're seeking. You don’t have to carry these feelings alone. Whether you're navigating life transitions, feeling anxious or emotionally stuck, or looking to strengthen your sense of self and relationships, we can explore this together. Reach out to discuss how I can support you.

Maddie (Matin) Motamed
Registered Psychotherapist, Master's in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy
Seeking support is an act of strength. If you are experiencing anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, or are recovering from narcissistic abuse, you do not have to face it alone. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand emotional and relational patterns, and heal unresolved wounds through approaches such as inner child work and reparenting.
I specialize in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse and high-conflict, emotionally abusive relationships. I support men, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals, as well as individuals who have been in narcissistic relationships, to engage in rebuilding self-trust, restoring boundaries, and recovering from chronic invalidation, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation. My work also focuses on trauma, personality dynamics, anxiety, mood disorders, and attachment wounds.
My therapeutic approach integrates CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Relational Therapy, ACT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused approaches, offering a supportive space for those who often feel misunderstood or overlooked.
I also provide free virtual psychotherapy for refugees, asylum seekers, and protected persons covered under IFHP. Services are trauma-informed and culturally sensitive, supporting individuals impacted by war, displacement, adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, and resettlement stress. Psychotherapy is available in English and Farsi.
Your diagnosis or past experiences do not define you. Healing and growth are possible, and your story matters.

Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Life in your 20s and 30s can feel EXHAUSTING, like no matter how hard you try, you're spinning your wheels and can't seem to catch a break. You're tired, anxious, overwhelmed, and questioning how you even got here.
Maybe a big change recently flipped your world upside down, like a breakup, move, job shift, or family situation that brought everything to the surface. Or maybe it's been building for a while. You’re feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, unfulfilled, and noticing the same patterns repeating themselves again and again.
You’re ready for something different. You're ready to dig deeper, understand yourself on a new level, and start creating patterns that actually move you forward. We’re here to help you do just that.
Visit our website or reach out to book a free consultation with one of our therapists! We’d love to support you.
