Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
An HIV diagnosis lands differently for everyone, and the emotional weight of it rarely gets the same attention as the medical side. I work with clients navigating disclosure, stigma, grief, changes in intimacy, and the particular isolation that can come with carrying something most people in your life don't fully understand. You don't have to educate me before we can get to work.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is more than just a virus; it's a challenge that many individuals face in their lives. It specifically targets CD4 cells, which play a vital role in maintaining a healthy immune system. When HIV is left untreated, it can progress to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), a condition that severely weakens the immune system, leaving the body susceptible to various infections and illnesses.
The reality of living with HIV can be daunting, especially considering its modes of transmission—primarily through unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. However, it's important to remember that with today's advancements in medical care, particularly with antiretroviral therapy (ART), many people living with HIV can lead long and fulfilling lives.
Early diagnosis and consistent treatment can keep the virus under control, preventing the progression to AIDS and significantly lowering the risk of transmission to others. This journey, while challenging, is made easier through education and understanding, which are crucial in breaking down the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. By fostering open conversations about this virus, we can promote safe practices, encourage testing, and support those affected, helping to create a more compassionate and informed community.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
You don't have to walk this alone. Whether you've lost someone to death, a relationship that ended, a future that won't happen, or a version of yourself you'll never get back, I'll sit with you in the pain without rushing you toward acceptance or closure. Together, we'll honor what you've lost, make space for the complex emotions grief brings, and gently help you rediscover who you are now. Healing doesn't mean forgetting—it means learning to carry loss without it crushing you. I'll support every step forward.

Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Dvorkin, MPsy, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),
As a dedicated psychotherapist, I specialize in providing compassionate support and guidance to individuals living with HIV/AIDS. I understand the unique challenges and emotional complexities that come with this diagnosis, and I am committed to helping my clients navigate the physical, psychological, and social aspects of their journey. With a deep understanding of the stigma, fear, and isolation often associated with HIV/AIDS, I create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, fears, and hopes. Together, we work collaboratively to address issues such as disclosure, self-esteem, coping with medication, managing relationships, and navigating the healthcare system. Utilizing evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness techniques, I help my clients develop effective strategies to cope with the challenges of living with HIV/AIDS. I also provide support in addressing emotional distress, depression, anxiety, and any other mental health concerns that may arise. Through our therapeutic relationship, I aim to empower individuals to enhance their overall well-being, build resilience, and find a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives beyond their diagnosis. My ultimate goal is to help my clients embrace their strengths, foster a sense of self-acceptance, and live fulfilling and empowered lives, breaking free from the limitations and stigma often associated with HIV/AIDS.

Vancouver's extreme housing affordability crisis has become a defining mental health issue, with therapists frequently addressing financial stress, housing precarity, and the grief of displacement from a city many can no longer afford to stay in. The city's large East Asian community — particularly its Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and South Asian populations — drives demand for culturally fluent therapists who can navigate family dynamics, immigration stress, and the intersection of cultural expectations with individual wellbeing. BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services provides institutional support, while Vancouver's large private therapy community is concentrated in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Commercial Drive, and the West End. BC's expanded telehealth access makes it easier to connect with therapists across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
