Where this stands

I am rebuilding this training right now.

I have been training therapists on this for 16 years, and clinicians keep telling me the same thing about what helps most: the part where we get into what you actually do in the room with a Queer client.

The founding cohort of practices in my certification program said it loudest. They wanted that depth across every area they work in — intake, youth, families, couples, referrals, the moments you do not see coming.

So that is what I am building. This is the latest and best version of this training, and it goes deep on clinical application. Every module is going self-paced, so each clinician on your team can take it whenever it fits their week.

Pricing and the opening date are coming. If you want to know when, send me a note and you will be the first to hear.

What you walk away with

Not awareness. What to do in the room.

  • An intake your Queer clients do not have to brace forWhat to ask, how to ask it, and what to stop asking.
  • What minority stress looks like in sessionHow it shows up in the work, even when your client never names it.
  • The being-out conversationWhat it costs your client, and how to hold both sides of it.
  • Gender confirmation referrals, without the panicThe questions to ask and the steps to take when a client needs one.
  • Working with Queer youth, families, and couplesIncluding the families who are not on board.
  • How to respond when a client pushes back on your LGBTQ+ inclusionYour signage, your intake, your language.

Hi, I'm Eric (he/him)

I've been training therapists on this for 16 years.

And — for reals — I love it.

When a therapist comes in open to learning, tells me later something really landed — that's the whole thing. They show up differently for their LGBTQ+ clients. My community gets better care.

Win-win.

I'm an ally. I just don't know how to actually support LGBTQ+ clients in therapy — and I'm afraid of doing the wrong thing.

That's what I hear most often — from good therapists who care, and were never taught.

That's not on you. It's the field being bad at teaching this. The good news: it's fixable.

And I'm going to walk you through exactly how to fix it. Without shame for what you don't know.

That's what I built this training for. Not awareness. Not a checkbox. The clinical skills to show up for your LGBTQ+ clients — without guessing.

What practice owners are saying

Trusted by therapists and practice owners who take this seriously.

This training was so good. I took notes, because as a business owner, it's important for me that I get this right. I want all of my customers and employees to feel seen and respected.
