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.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
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.

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.
