Approach and Pricing

My trainings are grounded in real clinical experience, using de-identified case examples to bring concepts to life and bridge theory with practice. Whether I'm speaking with a group practice, graduate students, or fellow clinicians, my goal is to create engaging, practical learning experiences that translate directly into the therapy room.

The best therapists never stop learning. Expanding your scope of practice to better serve gender-diverse clients and other marginalized communities is both an act of ethical care and a commitment to meeting clients where they are. If you're looking to deepen your confidence, broaden your perspective, and offer more inclusive, affirming care, I would love to support you.

Pricing varies based on presentation duration, travel, and scope. Ellen welcomes inquiries from counseling programs, group practices, queer organizations, and professional conferences.
