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.

HIV/AIDS
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I provide supportive and affirming therapy for individuals and couples impacted by HIV or AIDS. I am deeply aware of the fear, loss, and stigma that emerged during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, and how those experiences continue to shape the lives, relationships, and mental health of many people today. For some, this includes grief, trauma, survivor’s guilt, or long standing anxiety related to health, intimacy, or trust.
My work is grounded in respect, empathy, and an understanding of the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ community. I offer a space where you can speak openly about your experiences without having to explain or defend them. This may include support around disclosure, dating and relationships, sexuality and intimacy, medical stress, or navigating changes in identity and community over time.
Whether you are newly diagnosed, have been living with HIV for many years, or are supporting a partner or loved one, therapy can be a place to process emotions, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with a sense of stability and meaning. My goal is to support you in living fully and authentically while honoring both your history and your resilience.
