About me:

AJ Phipps, Witchy as Sh!t since 1992

Witchy Sh!t for Therapists is the culmination of decades of building skills and community, nurturing dreams and visions. The seeds were planted in 1992, 30 years ago, when I learned ritual, meditation, the Tarot and the Zodiac.

Since then, I have studied Tarot and Astrology in depth and breadth and have been practicing each personally and professionally for over 20 years. In the last decade I earned a M.A. in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and built a community of therapist/healer friends and colleagues in what feels like my spiritual home, the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

I have been teaching at the California Institute of Integral Studies and through the Center for Spiritual Life in Palo Alto for the last five years on topics ranging from Astrology and Tarot to Family Dynamics and Multicultural Counseling.

My gender is queer as f*#k, and I use they/them pronouns. All of my work rests on the foundation of my worldview, based on social justice, anti-capitalist, anti-racist, values. I am happy to talk about how that comes into my work.

Though I am a licensed psychotherapist it feels important to make transparent that this work is not psychotherapy.
