HIV/AIDS therapists in Strathroy, Ontario ON, Canada CA
Jennifer Fukushima
Registered Psychotherapist, registered psychotherapist
Although we have come a long way in the treatment and management of HIV/AIDS, there is still a lot of stigma around a positive status. I am also holding that HIV/AIDS disproportionately affects men who are into men (2SLGBTQIA++) and drug users who make up a large proportion of my clients. I am here to provide stigma free support and solidarity.
3 Years Experience
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.

Our team members are all 2SLGBTQIA+ identified and are happy to support folks living with HIV/ AIDS. We understand the shame and stigma that can be attached to this diagnosis, but also know how to encourage folks to live a happy, healthy and full life anyway!
Depression is all encompassing. It affects all aspects of our life including our physical health, our emotional state, our thinking patterns, our behaviours and reactions, and our relationships. We often lose interest in participating in life and this can lead to feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and worthlessness.
Although we can feel like a lost cause at times, there is always hope! Working together in therapeutic relationship, we can can help you reconnect with your joy in a supportive and compassionate way.
