Who am i?

my name is ALIZa shapiro, MA

pronounced: /ah-lee-zah/, (they/them)

i’m a queer and genderqueer therapist, artist, lover of movement, chronic illness spoonie, dog companion, french fry connoisseur, and big fan of meandering through the woods on a trail to a mountain view or a lake dip or just to smell the trees. i’m a connected ashkenazi jew, a lover of astrology and enneagram work, and a believer in organizing within community to create change (beyond the therapy room).

EDUCATION:

  • university of colorado - denver, MA counseling

  • tufts university, ba anthropology

beliefs around the change process:

  • change is rarely one big, defining moment

  • every small, different, decision you make is a another step towards change

  • this is not a linear process

  • it can be frustrating and demoralizing to feel like the process is slow; being witnessed is an essential support
