Charles Koehler interviews Dr. Barbara Lokitz from Delta Mental Health, a service for the LGBTQ+ community in St. Louis. Dr. Lokitz emphasizes the importance of therapists understanding and not requiring education from clients about their sexual orientation or HIV status. Delta, founded in 1988, provides mental health services to HIV-affected individuals and the LGBTQ+ community. Funded by Ryan White money, grants, and private donations, Delta offers a sliding scale fee from $1 to $70. The organization has grown from two staff members to five and a quarter in two years, handling an average of 25-30 new intakes monthly. Dr. Lokitz discusses the profound identity changes and coping mechanisms for those with HIV/AIDS, the need to normalize LGBTQ+ relationships, and the impact of societal stereotypes and misconceptions.
