Dr. Bernadette Hinojos
Psychologist, Psy.D
I offer affirming, trauma-informed support to individuals living with HIV or AIDS. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been navigating life with HIV for years, I provide a space where you are not reduced to your status—but seen in your full humanity. Together, we can process the emotional impact of stigma, fear, grief, disclosure, and health-related stressors while strengthening your resilience, agency, and connection to community. My work is grounded in advocacy, cultural humility, and an understanding of the intersectional challenges faced by LGBTQIAA+ and BIPOC individuals living with HIV.

HIV/AIDS
Dr. Michael Grey, PsyD, LMFT, ABS
Marriage and Family Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Living with HIV/AIDS can bring challenges that are deeply personal and often overwhelming. You might be navigating the fear and uncertainty that come with a diagnosis, struggling with how or when to disclose, or carrying the weight of stigma and shame. Maybe medical trauma has left you feeling disconnected from your body or your care providers. These experiences can be isolating, but you don’t have to face them alone.
I’m here to offer you a compassionate, affirming space where your story is heard without judgment. Together, we’ll address the emotional, relational, and societal challenges you’re facing—from managing your mental health to exploring your relationships and sexuality with confidence. My approach is sex-positive, trauma-informed, and grounded in harm reduction, so you can feel safe bringing your whole self into the room.
Whether you are newly diagnosed, living long-term with HIV, or supporting someone you love, therapy is a place to process your experiences, rebuild your strength, and reclaim joy. You deserve care that sees you, honors you, and empowers you to live fully on your own terms.

HIV/AIDS
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.
