HIV/AIDS
The Empowering Space PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Compassionate Support for Individuals Living with HIV/AIDS
A diagnosis of HIV/AIDS can bring a range of emotions—fear, uncertainty, stigma, or isolation—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. At The Empowering Space, we provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and affirming environment where you can process your experiences, address emotional challenges, and build a fulfilling life with confidence.
Using trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we help individuals manage anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and self-acceptance. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, living with HIV for years, or struggling with the emotional and social impact of the condition, we’re here to support you in reclaiming your strength, resilience, and well-being.
You are more than a diagnosis. Let’s work together to build a life filled with hope, empowerment, and support.

Dr. Monica Dyer
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, MPH, FNP, PMHNP
As a Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, my passion is helping people feel seen, supported, and understood during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. I believe that healing happens through connection, honesty, and safe space, and my goal is to offer care that feels grounded, collaborative, and genuinely human. I am so grateful to work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and many other mental health struggles. I provide both medication management and supportive therapeutic care.
For patients healing from trauma, I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a gentle approach that helps people move forward without being overwhelmed by their past. My background includes street medicine, community health, and international humanitarian work, all of which have shaped my respect for the resilience and complexity of the human experience.
I strive to understand your story—not just your symptoms—and to partner with you in creating a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. To heal, we need to feel safe, heard, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you, support you, and help you rediscover hope, strength, and stability on your path forward.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST

HIV/AIDS
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.
