HIV/AIDS Therapists in Savannah, GA

As we work through your emotions around a diagnosis, you will find yourself in a setting of dignity, respect, and empathy.

I have years of experience assisting clients in coping with these issues.

Living with HIV/AIDS can bring unique emotional, relational, and health-related challenges. I provide a supportive, trauma-informed space to explore the impact of diagnosis, manage stress and anxiety, and address the parts of yourself affected by these experiences. Together, we focus on resilience, self-compassion, and building a fulfilling, balanced life aligned with your values.

Receiving an HIV/AIDS diagnosis can feel overwhelming, isolating, or difficult to fully accept. Whether you are newly diagnosed, struggling with fear or shame, navigating relationships, or trying to manage the emotional and practical impact of living with HIV/AIDS, you do not have to face it alone. I provide compassionate, informed, and nonjudgmental support to help you process your experience, strengthen coping skills, and move toward stability, self-acceptance, and hope.

The Associates of Underwood Counseling & Consultation, PLLC provide emotional support to individuals and families managing the diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS. We utilize CBT, Family Systems Therapy, EMDR, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy.

Savannah is one of the American South's most historically significant cities, a port town with deep antebellum roots, a large Black community whose history is inseparable from the city's identity, and a growing creative and tourism economy anchored by the Savannah College of Art and Design, which brings thousands of students and a vibrant arts community into the city each year. The mental health landscape reflects the sharp racial wealth gap that persists from Savannah's history, with Black residents facing disproportionate barriers to mental health care in a city where the private therapy sector largely serves white and SCAD-connected communities. Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield nearby create additional demand for military and veteran mental health services within the broader metro area. Common therapy concerns include trauma, anxiety, depression, identity and cultural stress, and the experience of building a creative life in a beautiful but economically complex city.
