About
I’m Kai DeMaeyer, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) based in Toronto. I offer virtual individual and couples therapy across Ontario, with a particular focus on relationships, sex and intimacy, identity, trauma, burnout, chronic illness, health trauma, and grief.
Many of the people I work with are navigating several parts of their lives at once. Relationship patterns may be tangled with identity, neurodivergence, past experiences, family expectations, work pressure, or changes in the body. I help clients understand how these patterns developed, what keeps them going, and what needs to shift. My work includes couples navigating conflict or distance, partners experiencing differences in desire, people exploring gender or sexuality, neurodivergent adults experiencing overwhelm or masking fatigue, and clients living with the effects of trauma or chronic stress.
My approach is relational, narrative, trauma-informed, sex-positive, and context-aware. I also draw from parts work, somatic practice, attachment-based therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. Our work can include communication, emotional and sexual intimacy, desire, trust, boundaries, kink, ENM and polyamory, ADHD, identity transitions, grief, burnout, and relationship repair.
As a queer therapist, I understand the value of working with someone who can hold identity, relationships, power, and social context without requiring you to explain everything from the beginning. My practice welcomes all individuals and couples. Therapy with me is thoughtful, direct, collaborative, and grounded in helping you build a life and relationships that feel more honest, connected, and sustainable.
