At Dori Zener & Associates we offer a strengths-based, person-centred approach to support autistic individuals and their loved ones to thrive. We help individuals cope with the mental health effects of living in a neurotypical world and co-create a roadmap that supports their wellbeing. Partners and family members are given tools to understand communication differences so relationships can flourish.
Clinicians are experienced working with children, teens, adults, girls, women, and LGBTQA+ individuals.
We offer virtual therapy anywhere in Ontario, Nova Scotia and British Columbia and in-person sessions in Toronto & North York.
We offer Neurodiversity affirming Individual, Couple and Family therapy, Autistic-led and therapy based groups as well as Job Coaching and Executive Functioning Coaching. Our practice is dedicated to providing empowering therapy to individuals with diverse neurological experiences.
We recognize the beauty and resilience of neurodivergent minds. We understand that traditional approaches do not cater to the needs of neurodivergent individuals and their families, which is why Dori developed INVEST, a neuroaffirming approach to therapy that honours and supports unique neurocognitive profiles.
