Mind Body Spirit Wellness

Mind Body Spirit Wellness is a free individual and group-based mental health counseling program for people living with HIV/AIDS at both our Los Angeles and Orange County locations.

Mind Body Spirit Wellness aims to improve and sustain the quality of life for persons impacted by HIV/AIDS. Living with HIV/AIDS can be difficult, but knowing that there is someone trained and licensed for you to talk with can help ease the stress. APAIT’s counselors are available to meet with individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their support systems. APAIT’s counselors are experienced in discussing issues such as:

  • Isolation and lack of social support

  • Disclosure of HIV status to others and specific cultural group stigmas

  • Feelings of guilt, lowered self-esteem, or fear of rejection

  • Stigma related to sexual orientation

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Grief and loss
