Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
I provide affirming, trauma-aware support for people living with HIV. Together we can address the emotional impact of diagnosis, medication fatigue, stigma (including from faith or family systems), and the stress of managing other mental health concerns alongside HIV care. Sessions are a place to be fully seen — LGBTQ+ identities, relationships, and chosen family included — while we build skills for mood, anxiety, and healthy boundaries.

Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
Managing HIV/AIDS is tough and the more support you can get, the better. It's not just about antiviral medication, is it...it's about managing that and the stigma and having as normal a life as possible while managing it all. Let me help you create and maintain the balance.

Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
In therapy, an individual can explore ways to cope with the mental health impacts of HIV and AIDS. Some mental health professionals may have particular training in treating people who have a life-threatening or chronic illness, and these therapists and counselors may be particularly suited to treat those who have been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS.
Because AIDS, which can develop from HIV, is a life-threatening illness, people infected with HIV may also wish to seek end-of-life counseling, especially as the disease reaches final stages. In therapy, individuals can discuss medically necessary issues with a therapist, make plans for the future for any family members or children who might need care, and come to terms with the eventual end of their life. In this manner, they are able to exercise control over the aspects of life that they still are able to control, as control over the body diminishes.
HIV progression may also lead to cognitive impairment, as the virus can affect the brain. Dementia, delirium, and psychosis are some of the conditions that can result, and should any of these conditions develop, a combination of therapy and psychiatric medications may be an effective treatment.

Therapy should not be a place where you have to hide parts of yourself or educate the person you are working with. I have specialized in supporting newly diagnosed individuals with HIV/AIDS and other STIs as well long-term survivors of HIV/AIDS.
