Liza Lateour

I am a psychologist dedicated to supporting autistic teens, driven by a passion for creating safe spaces where social growth can flourish. My training in autism spectrum disorders is complemented by my hands-on experience as a Dungeon Master, where I use interactive storytelling to foster social skills and confidence.

With a warm, engaging personality, I prioritize building a comfortable and judgment-free environment where each participant feels valued. My approach is strengths-based and person-centered, focusing on each teen’s unique needs and talents. I continually seek out new learning opportunities, attending workshops and collaborating with mentors to deepen my understanding of both therapeutic and recreational methods in social development.

My cultural awareness and sensitivity allow me to adapt sessions to be inclusive, recognizing that each participant brings a unique background and perspective to the group. I believe in the transformative power of play and creativity, and I’m committed to using these tools to help teens not only develop social skills but also gain confidence and build meaningful connections.
