Individual Counseling

Individual counseling services are available to the community at large, regardless of HIV status. Services are offered at the St Petersburg and Tampa Metropolitan Charities office locations with day and early evening appointments available.

• Services are free to individuals with a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS.
• All non-HIV counseling services are offered on a sliding scale.  Price is based on income.  Income is verified by most recent check stubs or most recent income tax return. A sliding scale begins at $40 minimum up to a maximum of $80 an hour.
• Some restrictions apply for free individual counseling if the client has private insurance or Medicaid. Call for more details and eligibility. If you are ineligible for free individual counseling, please note that ALL HIV+ persons can still participate in group counseling for free.
• Individual Counseling is offered by Appointment Only!

To make your appointment or obtain more information about the Living Loving Learning program, please call (727) 321-3854 Ext. 228 and ask for the Metro Charities Program Specialist or via email at goodmentalhealth@metrocharities.org .
