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.

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.

San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
