Dennis Sapire
Psychologist, JD PhD
I work with many clients with HIV in the Gay community, and I appreciate not only the challenges we have known since the 1980's and the massive achievement of Dr. Ho's "cocktail", but also the frequency with which my clients live long and healthy lives with an undetectable viral load.

Hypnotherapy for HIV/AIDS Support: Strengthen Mind, Body, and Spirit
A diagnosis of HIV/AIDS can bring emotional, mental, and physical challenges, but you are not defined by it. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, self-acceptance, or health management, hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool to support your well-being and inner strength.
Through guided hypnosis, you can:
✔ Reduce Stress & Anxiety – Release fear and regain control over your thoughts and emotions.
✔ Strengthen Your Immune System – Use the mind-body connection to promote healing and resilience.
✔ Cultivate Self-Acceptance & Confidence – Overcome shame, stigma, and self-doubt.
✔ Develop a Positive Mindset – Embrace hope, empowerment, and a fulfilling future.
Your mind is a powerful ally in healing, and through hypnotherapy, you can develop inner peace, emotional strength, and a renewed sense of self-worth.
You are strong. You are worthy. You are not alone. Take the first step toward healing—schedule a session today.

HIV/AIDS
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.

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.
