About Bread and Roses Therapy
About Bread and Roses Therapy
The phrase 'bread and roses' comes from a 1912 textile strike in which Rose Schneiderman yelled that "the worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too."
This phrase has been used for over a century by feminists and activists, meaning that we want our sustenance but we also want beauty, and we want both without compromise.

Therapy is the fight for autonomy over our decisions and connection in the aftermath. The universal social work tradition is to build practice based on reciprocity, continuity of care, consent, and affirmation. Therapists build supportive networks through community-based resources, connection and love. We labor for access to self determination over our own identities and communities at large. We take a holistic view of the self through a social context, and work to create open and dynamic spaces as well as roles for ourselves and each other. This must include confronting stigma, isolation and disconnection.
"Yes, it is bread we fight for, but we fight for roses too."

Hi, I'm Aloe (they/them). I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon, Pennsylvania and Utah. I am the founder of Bread and Roses Therapy.
I have a passion for working with other gender expansive, transgender and non-binary adolescents and adults. I love working with folks who are interested in exploring their cultural and social identifiers, experiencing life transitions, and processing their relational experiences.
I have a special interest in utilizing evidence based interventions in a structured and safe environment, so that people can successfully create a life worth living. My approach is warm, collaborative, and genuine — I believe therapy should feel like a real relationship, not a clinical transaction.
As a queer and gender expansive therapist, I bring my whole self to the work. I understand firsthand the importance of finding a therapist who truly gets it — someone who doesn't require you to educate them on your identity before you can get to the real work.
