HIV/AIDS was stigmatized for a long time and seen by many as a death sentence. Our understanding of the disease has evolved and its important for those dealing with this issue to understand that while you may have to adjust to your experiences, life is still filled with hope, life still can be good, and you still can have dreams. Whatever your struggles around this issue, we at Growth and Change Counseling want you to know that we are here for you.

Dennis Sapire
Psychologist, JD PhD
I work with many clients with HIV in the Gay community, and I appreciate not only the challenges we have known since the 1980's and the massive achievement of Dr. Ho's "cocktail", but also the frequency with which my clients live long and healthy lives with an undetectable viral load.

Berkeley is home to the University of California, Berkeley—one of the world's great public research universities—and has a progressive, intellectually vibrant character and a community culture that is among the most therapy-positive in the United States, with an unusually high density of licensed therapists relative to population. The university's health services include counseling for enrolled students, and the academic and activist culture of Berkeley creates specific mental health pressures around perfectionism, imposter syndrome, political engagement, and the burnout of sustained social activism. The city's housing market is among the most expensive in the country, and financial precarity is a significant stressor for students, artists, and workers who value Berkeley but struggle to afford it. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, activist burnout, identity and social justice, anxiety, depression, and the complex emotional experience of living in a place with deeply held ideals about equity alongside the daily reality of inequality.
