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.
Our tailored therapy supports children and teens with Autism and Asperger's. We focus on enhancing social skills, communication, and emotional regulation, helping them navigate their world more effectively.

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.
At Tikvah Family Services, we provide specialized support for individuals with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome, focusing on fostering growth, understanding, and independence. Our tailored therapies address a wide range of needs, from improving social skills and communication to managing sensory sensitivities and emotional regulation.
We use a variety of evidence-based approaches, including the Miller Method and Floortime, to support individuals in developing their strengths and navigating daily challenges. Our goal is to create a supportive environment that promotes self-awareness, social interaction, and personal growth, helping individuals with Autism and Asperger's thrive in their unique ways.
Whether you’re seeking assistance for a child, teen, or adult, Tikvah Family Services offers compassionate and individualized care to help enhance quality of life and support meaningful connections with others.

I am an autism mom, and my doctoral research was on autism and art therapy. As a result, I have both personal and professional understanding of behavioural and emotional challenges that autistic individuals may face. I have developed a framework called S-BRATA (Sensory-based Relational Art Therapy) to do art therapy with autistic children.
I have experience working with people on the spectrum for several years and it's always been an honor to learn from and support their development where they need/want it. I see this work as merging of worlds, and most importantly doing it without minimizing any ones experience.
In addition to individual psychotherapy, Sandra Cesario (she / her), Registered Psychotherapist, offers Autism Assessments in collaboration with a Clinical Psychologist. For more information, please get in touch with us.
I have over 25 years of experience in working with children and adults with autism, both in clinical and school settings. As a therapist, I recognize that each individual presents with their unique needs and I am ready to tailor my therapeutic approach to you or your child's needs. For further information, please feel free to contact me and receive a prompt reply. I provide psychological evaluations for Adult ASD.
