"I can genuinely say that this certification course has been a transformative experience, professionally and personally. It's not just about acquiring new skills; it's about joining a community that cares deeply about making a positive impact on the world. I am grateful for the knowledge gained and the relationships formed, and I can't wait to apply these lessons to continue growing as a compassionate therapist."
– Victoria M.
This course reminded me how important and necessary anti-oppressive practices are to the work. It helped me to feel seen, supported, and understood in my identities and reignited my passion for advocacy in the field of mental health - not just for affirming care for sex workers, but for all whose marginalization results in exclusion or a lack of safety in spaces that are meant to care for and support them. Our very existence is political, the work we do is political, and I now have so many more resources to continue challenging oppressive systems inside of myself, in the field, and in my communities.
– Laura Baker
"I learned about the issues impacting sex workers and how to address them in an empathetic way that challenges and breaks away stigma and systems of oppression in hopes of inching a step closer towards liberation in a collective and communal setting. I would encourage other mental health practitioners to take part and support ECC to show love for those who work and participate in the sex industry so that those who are pushed at the margins find care and support."
– Carlos J.
Upcoming Workshop
Financial Trauma & Anxiety in SWers
Saturday, May 30, 2026 4:00-6:00pm EasternÂ
Money stress isn’t “just budgeting.” For a lot of clients—especially sex workers—it can be trauma, stigma, survival mode, and nervous system activation all tangled together.
In this workshop, we’re talking about financial trauma + financial anxiety in sex workers through a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, sex work-affirming lens. We’ll cover what it can look like clinically (compulsive spending, avoidance, panic, shame spirals, dissociation around money), why it makes sense, and how to intervene without reinforcing harm.
You’ll leave with practical tools you can use immediately: financial narrative mapping, CBT strategies for money-related anxiety, and boundary-setting/communication practice—plus referral considerations and ethical guidance.
