Alisa Shanahan

As a therapist and folk medicine apprentice, I'm devoted to supporting others in reconnecting with the wisdom of their minds, bodies, spirits, and innate sense of wholeness. I have training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapies, yoga, and folk medicine, and weave spiritual practices into work with others to hold grounding, transformative space. My work invites others into presence, inner listening, and communion with the many human and spiritual parts of themselves. I strive to create a container of warmth and trust in every session where each client feels safe to be their honest and authentic self.

As a queer person, I know there is no “one size fits all” approach to therapy, or existing in this world. I work to provide holistic, integrative care by allowing the mind, body, and spirit to be tended to simultaneously.

I'm eclectic and person-centered, meaning I work to create a container that best suits each individual. In our work together, I also aim to address external/environmental barriers that may be keeping you from accessing rest, healing, and stability.
