Working with Gender in Session: A Clinical Framework
Next Live Virtual Training:
Wednesday, June 10th from 12p-1p EST (9a-10a PST)
You know the terminology. You've done the ally work. But when a client sits across from you and says "I think I might be trans" … do you know what to say next??
This 60-minute live training teaches you what to actually do in session: how to open a conversation about gender (without leading), a four-step framework for working with dysphoria, and the difference between dysphoria and minority stress (because they need different interventions). You'll leave with scripts you can use tomorrow.
For clinicians (at any level) who are LGBTQ+ informed but new to working with gender.
includes live training, Q&A, and 3 handouts: ‘In-Session Scripts,’ ‘The 4-step Framework,’ & ‘Dysphoria v Minority Stress’
price:
$45
About The Presenter:
Nik Ruthless (he/they) is a licensed clinician in North Carolina and California (LCMHC, LPCC) and the founder of Fathom Counseling, a hybrid private practice serving trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse adults across both states. Nik has been delivering gender-affirming care education to clinicians and university partners since 2020, including a 4-hour staff training at Appalachian State University last fall!
Nik's day-to-day clinical work is exactly what this training is about: sitting with clients exploring gender for the first time, working through dysphoria and minority stress, writing WPATH-aligned letters for HRT and surgery, and coordinating care with the medical providers who are fighting to keep this medical care accessible.
This training is a response the questions Nik gets most often from clinicians early in their gender-affirming work: it’s practical, clinically grounded, and focused on what to actually do once a client trusts you with this part of themselves.
