Mental health and physical health go hand in hand, and for those living with HIV, addressing both can be essential. If you’re an individual living with HIV who is case managed by Allies or if you receive care in Allies’ clinic, you can access our care for mental health as well. Allies’ therapist is a licensed professional counselor and certified addictions counselor. Our therapist has experience working with:
EMDR is a specific type of therapy used for processing trauma and can help patients process upsetting memories, thoughts, and feelings related to the trauma. Allies’ behavioral health therapist Matthew Reinhart, LPC, is one of few EMDR-certified therapists in the Pittsburgh area who does not require private insurance to be seen.
If you’re a person living with HIV who is case managed by Allies or a patient in Allies’ clinic and interested in the behavioral health services we offer, be sure to discuss your concerns with your provider or case manager. Please note that Allies’ therapist may not be able to see you immediately, and we can refer you to another practice if you would prefer not to wait for an appointment.
