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.

Santa Rosa is the largest city in California's Sonoma County and the hub of the North Bay wine country region, and its mental health landscape has been profoundly shaped by the 2017 Tubbs Fire and subsequent wildfires, which destroyed thousands of homes and left lasting trauma for many residents. Wildfire-related PTSD, grief, climate anxiety, and the stress of community rebuilding remain ongoing therapy concerns alongside the broader mental health needs of a mid-sized California city. Sonoma County Behavioral Health provides public mental health services, while a well-developed private therapy sector serves professionals in the wine, healthcare, and tech industries. Many therapists in the Santa Rosa area have developed particular expertise in disaster trauma and environmental grief, reflecting the distinctive challenges of living in a region with elevated wildfire risk.
