Meet Candace Irabli, PsyD.
Supervising Psychologist. Director of HIV Mental Health. She was 18 when she took her first job in a psychiatric hospital, and she's been doing this work ever since. She comes, in her own words, from a long line of helpers.
Years ago, a peer counselor she worked with told a patient who kept pushing help away:
"I'm going to love you until you learn how to love yourself."
Candace has carried that line for nine years. It's how she trains her team. It's how she runs her groups. It's how she sits with every one of her patients.
Because treating HIV was never just about a pill. It's mental health. It's housing. It's food on the table. It's helping people learn they're worth taking care of.
We're lucky she's ours.
