“Wonderful job, Shan! I found your many examples from research, historical and current events, and personal experience to be very effective in teaching about this topic and it's relevance to my work as a therapist.”

Kristin S, LPC

“This training was fantastic with such important content for the critically thinking therapist to consider in clinical work and ethical practice. I’ll be applying what I learned about self-awareness of my classist bias and the potential impact classism has on my clients to my therapeutic relationships. ”

Rachael M. LPC

“I’m emailing to express my appreciation for your training. It was very informative and has strengthened my clinical knowledge related to assessing and understanding the influence of social class and classism. Thank you again for your generosity and commitment to supporting other clinicians like myself. ”

Kelsey J. LPC, ATR

“Amazing topic, also my area of interest and specialization but you articulated it so well. I truly believe that classism is the skeleton that upholds so many other oppressions that we struggle with such as racism, sexism, etc. Thank you for this training!”

Class is in You

Like it or not, social Class: occupation, wealth, education, income, are things we think about, clients talk about, and what we react to everyday. Social class is a rich ground where transference and countertransference issues are abundant in clinical encounters.
