Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Living with HIV can bring up layered experiences around disclosure, dating, intimacy, stigma, health anxiety, and identity. You may be navigating questions like: When do I share? Who is safe? How do I build connection without fear leading the way? Therapy can be a space to process these realities without shame or urgency.
As a queer, immunocompromised clinician, I hold deep respect for the resilience within the HIV/AIDS community and the complexity of living at the intersection of health and identity. Together, we can explore disclosure conversations, relationship dynamics, medical trauma, internalized stigma, and cultivating intimacy rooted in empowerment rather than fear. Your status is one part of your story, not the whole of who you are.

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.
