James "Jamie" Myslik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I worked for ten years in a clinic for folks living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. While it was rarely the primary issue folks were looking to work on, the many ways in which it impacted their lives were always present, from disclosure, to self-image, to dating, and beyond. I provide folks with a space where they don't have to educate their counsellor about life with HIV.

Centre for Psychology and Emotional Health
Psychologist
On our team is Carmine who was an activist, advocate, outreach worker, and counsellor in the LGBTQ communities in Milano and in Toronto. He has experience working with individuals struggling with issues around coming out, body image and disordered eating, exploring their gender identity or sexual orientation, or newly diagnosed with HIV. He has also worked with couples navigating the complexity of same sex relationships.
In addition our team includes Bill who led a randomized-controlled trial of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for gay men living with HIV that was the first to indicate psychological improvements for mindfulness in this population. This study inspired him to explore integrating self-compassion more deeply into mindfulness-based interventions to better address harsh self-criticism, shame and inter-personal injuries, leading him to develop EFMT.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the center of Canada's most significant technology hub outside Toronto, home to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and dozens of major tech startups and scale-ups, creating persistent demand for therapists who work with innovation-sector burnout, high-stakes career pressure, and the psychological costs of startup culture. The region's growing immigrant population from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adds cultural diversity to therapy demand that the private therapy community is still catching up to reflect. Grand River Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside an active private therapy community. Kitchener's rapid diversification — beyond its German-heritage Oktoberfest identity — shapes a dynamic and evolving therapy culture.
