Dulcinea Alex Pitagora, LCSW, PHD

Welcome

My aim is to create a space for our work that feels as safe as possible, non-judgmental, empowering, and liberating. I work with people in a wide range of orientations, identities, lifestyles, and ritual practices, and I believe there are many different routes to healing and flourishing. As a white anti-racist therapist, I create space for conversations that de/reconstruct whiteness and oppression, and cultivate positive racial and intersectional identities. If we don't align for any reason (timing, fee, approach, etc), I am happy to help with referrals!
