HOST Bio:
Image Description: A closeup photo of Bree with a smattering of headstones behind them. Bree is a fat white person with rosy pink cheeks and a medusa (upper lip) piercing who is gently smiling. They’re wearing a black baseball hat with the bill flipped up and a black sweatshirt with a grey and black plaid collar poking out.
Bree (they/them) is an unapologetically fat, queer, and neurodivergent witch with a master’s degree in psychology and an eclectic background in helping people spanning 14 years. They offer sliding scale peer counseling, UNO tarot readings, and peer support spaces in which they center collaboration and empowerment through the lenses of community psychology, feminist therapy, and fat liberation. Born and raised in Philadelphia, they now live in Los Angeles where they enjoy thrifting, at-home karaoke, and mixed media crafts. Learn more about Bree and their offerings at breeishelpfulaf.com.
