Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
I provide affirming, compassionate support for individuals living with HIV. An HIV+ diagnosis can bring up complex emotions—fear, shame, anger, grief, or isolation—while also intersecting with relationships, identity, health decisions, and stigma. My role is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can process these experiences openly and at your own pace. Together, we address the emotional impact of diagnosis, medical trauma, disclosure concerns, and the stress of managing a chronic health condition. Using research-based approaches, I help clients build coping skills, strengthen resilience, and challenge internalized stigma. We also focus on fostering self-compassion, healthy relationships, and a sense of empowerment in navigating both healthcare systems and personal life. Therapy can be a space to reconnect with your strengths, values, and sense of hope, while building a life that feels meaningful and fully your own in the context of living with HIV.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
When HIV/AIDS was new to society, people were fearful. Beginning in the late 1980s, I have worked with people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS as an advocate, activist, and counselor. Thankfully, science has progressed by leaps and bounds to help individuals with these diagnoses lead healthy, productive lives. Yet still, the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS remains, as does the fear of succumbing to what was once a life sentence. Let us engage in a process of living fully and mindfully with our dis-ease to facilitate acceptance and awareness of the needs and sensitivities of our body. Indeed, there is hope and there is evidence that survival and living well with HIV/AIDS is possible.
