As the fall season comes to a close, so do my books! 📚

I am so grateful for those who choose to work with me. I’m learning, growing and healing alongside all of you. Thank you for being vulnerable, for challenging me, and for helping me see the beauty in the world.

I’m still doing consultations and I’m using a waitlist for future clients.

When considering accessibility it is about more than a ramp.

This illustration is not a complete list, merely a sample of some of the things we should do and focus on.

[ID: A kawaii style illustration on the topic of access needs. In the center are the words “accessibility is more than a ramp” which is then surrounded by examples of access needs. Starting from the top left corner and working clockwise…
“flexible time constraints” with a drawing of an alarm clock. “Camel case” with a drawing of a hashtag. “Noise levels” with a drawing of musical notes. “Braille” with a drawing of the word Braille written in Braille. “Image description + alt text” there’s no drawing with this one. “Font choices” with a drawing of overly decorative font. “Hearing loop” with a drawing of the hearing loop logo. “Colour combinations” with a drawing of two examples of combinations, one clear and one very unclear. “Lighting levels” with a drawing of a ceiling light and light beam. “Sign interpreter” with a drawing of an arm demonstrating the way to say “hello” in BSL. The background of the slide is pale blue.]

Folks who have worked with me as a therapist in a professional relationship, I’d love to hear some honest feedback. How was your experience referring clients to me? How do you feel about my style, approach and interventions with clients? Would you recommend me as a therapist? Anything else I should know?

If you’d like to leave a public Google review, that would be helpful to inform future referring professionals or potential clients. My business is Ellet Durbin, LCSW PLLC.

Just to be clear- I am not soliciting client feedback, but I am indeed soliciting feedback from other professionals who’ve worked with me in relation to shared clients, in referring people/agencies, or in collaboration of work in relation to a client’s mental health.

Video for joy.

Thank you for considering!

As a therapist, it is against our ethics to request client feedback. I have provided services through Betterhelp during the past year as I've grown my private practice. Betterhelp requests anonymous client feedback and provides me with this feedback. 300 sessions! I'm always shooting for 100%, and I humbly accept the challenge to continue to work toward that goal.

I'm SO enjoying finding my niche, and I hope to serve my clients in the most helpful way possible. Staying humble, there is always room to grow!

Happy fall, y’all! Here’s to riding the waves of this next season. I hope they are challenging and awe-inspiring!

Happy LGBTQIA Pride Month! Let's continue to be inspired by the radical Black and Brown Trans Women who risked their lives to lead the fight for justice. Think about this- Trans woman of color are the most vulnerable population. They face a unique and dangerous blend of sexism, racism and transphobia. They are at the highest risk of being abused or killed. We must continue to protect our most vulnerable. Pride is both a celebration and a call to action.

Pictured below are Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson, two leaders of the LGBTQIA revolution. The fight is not over, folks!

My website is up and running! I am excited to continue to expand my telehealth private practice and I am taking new clients. Please give it a look and pass along to anyone who might benefit from my services. I love working with all sorts of folks, and some of my strongest areas include LGBTQIA issues, trauma, ADHD, relationships, and attachment issues!

We are all shooting stars!

I've opened up my schedule to include more weekday availability as well as Saturday appointments!

As a reminder, the prices listed in my profile reflect insurance-billed clients. If you do not have insurance or cannot afford insurance copays, talk to me! I never want money to be the barrier for someone and their mental health.

I'm just out here trying to make mental health care accessible!

I've been thinking about this quote from James Clear's book Atomic Habits a lot lately, so I made it into a picture!

I'm increasing my availability to accept insurance-billed clients. I'm especially excited to take on more trans, q***r, and nonbinary clients (but accepting any/all clients, regardless of status and orientation)!

I have closed my "accepting new clients" on Open Path Collective. I am reserving my 4 remaining sliding scale cost services for anyone affected by the increased acts of domestic terrorism and violence against individuals of Asian and Pacific Islander decent. Email me at elletdurbin@gmail.com to arrange low-cost support services if you need increased support during this time.
